I'm still here!

It's been a month already!? Oops! 


Well basically life has been quite busy in more ways than one. Although there has been a lot of rain with humid days in between, business is still happening. 

The boys are off on vacation this weekend so for market Matt came along to assist. If anyone was around Western MA yesterday, then you know that the skies opened up and it poured in the early afternoon.... market time. After setting up the tent and produce we hid in the back of the truck to stay dry and wait for a random passerby to become a customer. 
Meanwhile the market manager, Belle Rita, had made a DELICIOUS squash and curry soup. (The recipe of which I have somewhere.) Matt and I drank soup and waited for the rain to let up. And it did finally. For a couple hours we had a slow-steady stream of customers and sold mostly tomatoes. 
We were beginning to back up when the weather stilled and the sky got quite dark for 2:30pm. Obviously a serious downpour was imminent and boy did we hustle to get out in time. Though we moved fast we still got caught and got drenched. It was hilarious nonetheless. 


Today's Weather: Clear skies. Perfect icecream day!
