Due to Google's new mandate that all websites be mobile-friendly, earlier this week I implemented a mobile version of my site. My current website will still load like normal for those using computers and most tablets, but if you're on a mobile phone, the site will now automatically default to the new mobile version. If you'd prefer to use the regular desktop version on your mobile device, just scroll to the bottom of the webpage and click "switch to desktop." If you're a mobile viewer, I'd love to hear your feedback about how I can make my site's new mobile version a better experience.

AT THE MARKET:
I will be back at the Canandaigua winter market this Saturday with a few flower bouquets. Also found another bucket of potatoes and a couple squash when we were cleaning out the root cellar, so I might even be able to scrape together one more stew starter. Fingers crossed!
