oh northfield, how do I love thee? let me count the ways. . .

sidewalk neighborhoods that enjoy summer in their front yards
a riverwalk dotted with flowers
seeing new-to-me flowering shrubs and looking up at them
a store that says what it is
(and a smaller city outside of a major metropolitan area that is committed to a co-op)
a two-story library on a hill celbrating its 100 birthday
with public restrooms right inside the entryway
a weekly gathering spot creating the art of summer saturdays
seeing a crowd
musicians who love to sing
vendors trying new recipes
delicious homemade citrus tea with mint
a popcorn wagon in the central square
preserving the past
diggs on division
many spiral staircases
a twin cities suburban transplant who moved to northfield because of the artisan community, and wanted to showcase their talent through her talent of creating a whimsical, friendly gallery. . . complete with her handcrafted paper birds in the window
angle parking
another new recipe: white plum almond pastry tart
a real deal, old-fashioned bakery
a consignment/vintage clothing shop that organizes separate racks by size
this sign
an old favorite
and a new one
