out to the Farm

Today we are getting out of the 'big city'  - ha - and will head off into the Country.  We are off to Fournier's Fall Supper.  It is on Bernard and Marge's land.  It is a circle of trees that they moved their family home to and it is used as a 'clubhouse' of sorts for family gatherings.  It is like going to the Lake in the middle of a field.  Bernard and his family built on a cabana, which they heat with a barrel stove.  The kitchen has an old wood stove - they heat the house with this.  You can't go upstairs.  It was the Fourniers home long ago.  Quite an homage.  Dinner is a 5pm so we'll head out around 330 or so.  We are bringing buns.  Very easy.  The Fournier's - brothers and sisters - take it upon themselves to do the main meal.  I look forward to it.

I was up at 5:50am today.  what up with that?  Are the days of sleeping in long gone?  Egads.  My 'brain' is awake and so up I get.  I watched some recorded tele-shows.  Now having a nice cuppa.

Shout out to Holly from the Pineridge Hollow Farmers Market - she helped me out yesterday so I could 'skip to the loo'.  She watched my booth.  So thanks Holly!  Good luck with your move!  Yesterday was the last Market of the season for Pineridge Hollow.  Boy was it chilly out!  I got there at 7:45am and brrrrrrr.  I brought mitts and a cape to keep me cosy.  I met the the gw's afterward for lunch so the Huzz got a day off from Market.  I missed him.  But it was also good to do it on my ownsome.  Putting up the canopy by myself - very proud to be able to wrangle that bad-boy.  It was a little tricky.  I got some coffee and played around with my display.  Huzz found a 5 foot table on Kajiji for me - I've been borrowing RoMo and ViMo's 8 foot one...and it worked well.  Was a smaller space to play with.  It is heavy!  But managed to finangle that as well :).  Me strong like ox.  Me also stubborn like ox - ha.

  I managed to snag some goodies - Lori's booth has coffee and things of yore that I love to look and at buy.  She finds the coolest stuff and offers great prices. Her booth is a fave. The fella with Nepal goodies is also a fave - best bracelets!  I bought a beaded bracelet a couple weeks ago and can't find it anywhere so I  snagged another on Saturday.  Nice.  I bought some honey and Blueberry jam.  Had the jam on toast this morning.  If I had more time to shop I am sure over the summer I would have bought something from everyone.  So good thing I had a booth :).  I do believe that I will do it again next year - but I will most likely commit to doing the whole summer.  I've got lots of ideas!  Was a lovely market.  I had a great time so thanks to all that stopped by, thanks to Huzzy for help and thanks to my fellow marketers! 

Time for CBS Morning show.  Sunday ritual.  It is on from 8am to 9:30am.  Then take Ben for a walkabout.  And do laundry.  ciao ciao!  have a good one!  (high of 15 here today - went down to 1 last night if not lower!)
