I know, I know

After hearing that people have begun to check my blog for updates (Pat), I'm back with another entry about my mornings, afternoons, evenings, and nights spent at the Farm. They say I should just move in upstairs. I'm not so sure they're joking...

So if you live in the area... or in New England... you must have noticed that we're getting all rain for the whole summer in this week. Shipment 1/16, hold upright. Plenty of rain makes me happy because I love cloudy weather, raindrops, storms, and the like. However, it makes business QUITE slow. The good that comes from little to no customers is plenty of time to make sure that everything... every possible thing is done. Like cleaning the hangers. And the annuals. And straightening and watering the greenhouses. And throwing out dead things. And cleaning the inside. And organizing each pen and piece of paper. You get the idea.

Since all these things got done yesterday, today was a "look like you're doing something" day. Translated it means "Chelsea gets to read her new book in between the sporadic spurts of customers." I got about 120 pages in 1984 by George Orwell. I can't believe I've never read it before - it has the power to change lives and I'm sure that it has. But I digress.

Friday markets have been a little slow the last two weeks. Whyfore, you ask? The weather. Office workers are afraid to come out in a potential sprinkle, rain, torrential downpour. I can't imagine why. /sarcasm
If it weren't for the success of our first week, I think that my bosses would be reconsidering their decision to actually participate in this market.

Somewhere I have a list of things to bring for this week. All I can remember is to bring herb pots and table cloths. I don't think we really need them (table cloths) but everybody else has them and I know we don't want to be left out.

Saturday market is winding down. This week will be the last weekend of the season that we'll show up. So if you're itching to visit us bright and early, then get your butt down to Avocado Street on Saturday.

Because I still lack formatting skills, I shall follow this update with one solely of pictures. Love it?

Tomorrow's Weather: Cloudy and Rainy. High 69* Low 61* (My kind of day.)

Until Next Time,
Chelsea

P.S.: Happy Father's Day!
