At the Market, September 28th

So life is tough, ya know? I mean, this week’s cartoon may know something. Maybe those falling acorns aren’t some lovely autumn occurrence but actually a dive bombing army of small psycho assassins sent by a justifiably angry Mother Nature? Life is tough. The other day my spouse says to me in our home, “Why you gotta talk to me every time you see me?” Really? But I get it. We been together a long time. Life is tough.

At the Market, September 21st

Well, it may be September but the autumnal equinox this year is Monday, September 23. So actually this is the next to the last Farmer Market of the summer. To remedy that “Fall Feeling” everyone has, all the Market farmers, vendors and staff this Saturday will be in bathing suits and slathered with SPF 95 sunscreen lotion.
