AT THE MARKET:
Flowers are still a bit scarce due to our seemingly unending drought, but they are starting to get a little bigger now at least. I'll have my usual mixed flower bouquets and sunflower bunches at the market this weekend. I'll also have some cute little skep beeswax candles, as a fellow vendor let me borrow their skep mold. And Monday is the final Cheshire Farm Market of the season (ending a bit early this year since labor day falls on the following Monday), so stop by and stock up one last time.

Victor Farmers Market:
Wednesdays, 3pm-7pm, June-October

A broom corn wreath is a nice autumn decoration because, while it has a variety of colors, the colors are muted in autumn hues.

The Power of Alternative Medicine

Last summer I had a bit of a mishap. The rate at which I healed (much faster than any of the doctors expected) is a testament to the power of alternative medicine.
