Weather, Walking and Wonders

Weird weather
Hot and Windy on Sunday
Rainy and Cool on Monday
with thunder and lightening

Walking to lunch at Asuka Japanese Restaurant on K Street to

 Walking back home on Capitol Mall



 





 Monument to Policemen killed in the Line of Duty

Saturday Stroll to Midtown Farmer's Market

 






Midtown Farmer's Market is a small market, in a parking lot between 20th and 21st on J 
There are a few vendors not of the farm to table variety,  like
Kettle Korn and Hawaiian Shaved Ice

 


 The man that owns this company went to high school at Ponderosa High in Shingle Springs
where my granddaughter now attends.


Stopped for lunch here
