My second Saturday Farmers Market felt more relaxed and enjoyable. We layered our clothes, even though it was 50ish when we headed out at 8:30, not knowing how breezy it was downtown or how soon it would warm up. As soon as Cliff helped me set up, we were peeling off light jackets and about an hour later, off came the sweatshirts. Chamber of commerce weather all day. Last week I was told my premier site would change and I would set up in a not-so-choice spot. I realize the kinks have to be straightened out in the beginning so being a newbie, I was ready to play the game. But during the week, the site map changed again and I am back to my original premier spot. This is where I will be all season, right across from the English pastry lady, so we don't have to walk too far to eat her cookies, delectable cakes, and my favorite, "sticky ginger bars." It's interesting to hear the comments from people as they walk and shop. Today I sold the one and only baby bib that I whipped up yesterday afternoon, aprons, and toddler bucket hats. Now that I know bibs will sell, I'll make more before next Saturday. Also plan on making mesh produce bags and money aprons for the vendors. My sister and John suggested I make note cards from my art work so will play with that this week, too. This is much more fun than vacuuming.

We haven't had any rain in weeks and the next ten days show no rain in sight. Trees usually are bursting with fresh green leaves by this time but not leaves sprouting yet. I haven't planted any seeds in the big garden because it'll be too much work to keep that garden watered. I thought about building a raised garden to put by the porch stairs but that would mean power saws so that was out. I found that Lowe's had a 2' X 4' cedar planter kit in a box that I could assemble myself. I started assembling it on the porch with the intent of carrying it down to where I thought it would be best but plans changed. It's a tool-free frame assembly kit where all the parts are computer-driven cut and fit together without fastening. The instructions are the kind I like......no reading to confuse me, just pictures. After I assembled the whole bed, sides slats and all, it was too heavy for me and because it wasn't fast...
Deer helping me trim the tired summer plants. This is bunny's trademark. With seasonal changes happening animal diets have changed. Plants that have survived deer and bunny all summer are now their favorite foods. Lynn, who lives at the top of Clay Durrett next to Libby, has her cousin visiting for a few weeks from Lisbon, Portugal. He moved there a few years ago and absolutely loves living in Europe. The four of us have been eating out Friday nights. Steve is a hoot with a great sense of humor so he and I really hit it off together. He's a combination of Tommy Vanzini and Lance Hayes from my male friends back in Jr High and High school. So enjoyable to laugh at life again. He'll return to Lisbon later this week. Today TWC predicted only an 18% chance of rain. About an hour ago while talking to my sister on the phone it started pouring and so far the weather station console reported "raini...
