Market...

 

Farmer's Market yesterday.  We started out with a little card table and finally have enough to fill our two small tables.  It was great.  We made smaller loaves of zucchini bread and added banana bread this time and had good success.  We sold a bit of jam this time.  These pictures are more at the end of the market day.  We had several things on the ground and on a chair and by the end everything fit on the table.  I had two crates of tomatoes and got down to what is in the picture. 

The vendors sell a variety of things; most have produce, some other things sold are jellies, eggs, chickens, pasture-fed beef and pork, crafts, snacks, bread, plants.  Someone also sells perennial plants that she is cleaning out of her yard.  It is a little community. We took part of our earnings and went to the laundromat and washed 7 loads of laundry because...

  Sunday night our septic backed up into our house.  The boys and I dug the hole on the right side all the way down, it was the wrong spot.  Kev has found a cracked pipe but we aren't sure that is the only problem.  We had a plumber come help locate the problem.

 This is half the buckets we had to take out and wash and dry and then carry back down.  This is oatmeal, wheat, beans and other staple items.  Jordan washed about 100 jars and other things that got sewage and other water on them.

 

 

  A bright spot in the week;  my cousin and her husband and two boys (from the Cities) came a bit out of their way just to visit us.  They couldn't make it to the graduation and so we got to have them for supper a couple days later.  The boys got to ride the barrel train and dig in our hole.  It was great!  I'm so happy they were here!
