I'm not sure what you'd seen the last couple years.  This last year,
we had a nice -- not huge, but quite opaque -- umbrella that Wayne Johnson
had picked up.  There's generally a well-shaded spot under it somewhere.

In previous years, the Kruses had brought their umbrella, which is larger,
but made of mesh -- so it was not opaque and let a fair amount of sunlight through.

Jenifer, in case you'd like to come check it out, the Farmer's Market
stuff, umbrella included, is in my garage at the moment.
