School's Out!

With only a half day of school today, and summer stretching endlessly before them, there was a noticeable influx of teenagers at the Wednesday farmers' market on the Fairhaven Village Green this afternoon, enjoying the intermittent sunshine, live music, and easy access to ice cream cones, cookies, and other tasty treats.

This musical trio -- two guitarists and a percussion player making use of the metal bench -- caught my eye as I headed back to the car. It seemed ironic that they were playing outside the Fairhaven Toy Garden store, where perhaps their parents and grandparents had bought classic toys for them only a few years ago.
