Aug. 17 Market Day

 Remember this day 2 years ago when my life took a detour with diagnosis of need for additional tests, surgery and then chemo from a second bout with endometrial cancer that had moved to the lymph nodes.  Grateful to the Lord, a great medical team at Swedish Cancer Care to be in remission. Praying for dear friends whose lives are touched by cancer.

Today was Farmers Market day which meant driving the Kubota with trailer as Tom picked corn. This week we had granddaughter Emma helping us! Then we parked the corn in the shade and gave it a good bath, then covered it to keep it cool. Then it was time to package up and take the first load to market.

I got to have another 1st experience of learning to drive a small utility tractor with a mower attached! I mowed for a couple hours before noon dinner. In fact it was hard to stop! When I finished a section I would see another adjacent area and think “oh I’ll just do that quick before I stop!” Well I thought that several times and just kept mowing! Finished up the job after supper, even getting to watch the sunset which brought to a close another 5 star day!

Left the farm about 2:45 to load corn and set up for Market. When we opened at 3:30 this week there were 12 in line. In the first 10 minutes 20 shoppers coming through each shopping early to get the specific produce they were looking for. Great market day with a steady flow of shoppers. Then it was time to pack up, unpack, store and wash coolers for next week. I love market days!
