The Woodland Elf How to Carve a Bruce Springsteen Pumpkin (or any intricate pumpkin) While Jack o' lanterns are always nice, sometimes it's fun to bring a little more character out of the pumpkin by doing an intricate pattern; in this example I'm using Bruce Springsteen.   Read More Pumpkin Carving Tips It's getting close to pumpkin carving day, so thought I'd share a few pumpkin carving tips I've picked up throughout my carving years.   Read More Quote of the Week: "Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind." ~ Theodore Roosevelt     AT THE MARKET: Last Canandaigua summer market of the year this Saturday (Halloween), then next week we move to the parking lot behind the Byrne Dairy for the winter market. Still have no flowers (unless those last few sunflowers that made it through the freezes finally decide bloom), but I'll have autumn/Halloween decor with me. If you can't find me, just look for the scar and glasses, I'll be the one dressed as Harry Potter! Canandaigua Farmers Market: Saturdays, 8:30am-12:30pm, June-October Under the Mill Street Pavilion

Two freezes was enough to take out even most of the sunflowers. All I've got left are a few flowers here and there that were low enough to be protected from the frost. So I won't have much (if any) flowers this week. But I do still have broomcorn, flowered gourds and also a few carved pumpkins (put in your request this week, and I'll bring it carved next week for Halloween). Also next Wednesday the 28th is the final day of the Victor farm market. Bring the kids down to trick or treat at the vendors' tables.
