Champaign, OH:  Daydream

And even if time ain’t really on my side
It’s one of those days for taking a walk outside
I’m blowing the day to take a walk in the sun…
(The Lovin’ Spoonful)

Good morning, lovely market customers! Is anyone else having a slow starting morning?

I am sitting with coffee, staring out the windows, at the sunshine, trying to get it all together to start the day, and yet here I am…daydreaming. Nothing in particular going on in my thoughts, just a lot of jumbled up tunes, images from fashion pages, that I am flipping through, thinking of a few new items to add to the market, next month, but really just enjoying the quiet hush of nothing, and nobody around.

I love waking up, and looking at all of the orders flowing in from Thursday night’s opening. Thank you for that! I love looking at the offerings of our market, and make my own lists of what I may need for the week.

And, I like to reflect on some of the things that I love, and cannot be without.

Candles…our market offers the BEST candles. So lovely in scent, so long lasting, so clean when they burn. If you know me, and have been to my house, you know that one of my favorite things to do, right around sunset, is light all candles that are placed, everywhere.

Smudge sticks…this market has them, and I light mine, weekly. It’s nice to cleanse the aura of your house, your soul, and just life in general. I love to open my front door, wide, light up, and wave the smudge stick around while throwing my thoughts all around with it. It’s a lovely practice.

Oils…we have lovely oils, and the one that I purchase on the every, is the patchouli. If you peek into my makeup bag, my handbag, my drawers and closets, you will find my rollerballs of patchouli. Not everyone’s cup of tea, and you need to pick your oils wisely, but this is my favorite. And, I have tried many, but this works with my body chemistry. And, to make it all mine, I layer it with my signature perform that I have worn for ages and ages…

Body lotions…the goats milk lotions are the best. So amazing! I use the unscented because, well, I am scented up enough with patchouli…lol

Body scrubs…I love the body scrubs that have joined the market. The coffee scrub is my favorite, and my skin thanks me, each time I use it!

I hope that you enjoy the favorite things lists that I like to include. Today, my focus is on home and beauty because, well, isn’t this the soul of all that is life?

It’s time for me to begin my day, and I will see some of you, later, when you pick up your Friday orders!

Go out, enjoy these lovely November days, soak of the sun, and get lost in your own daydream.

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Martin's Farmstand:  Weblog Entry 11/6/20

I like this lovely warm weather. It is nice to be working at harvesting and washing crops such as carrots with warm sun on the back and with warm hands. The late carrots are very nice with a good yield. Bulk price for nice carrots is $1.25 per lb. (25 lb. bag $31.25)
The spinach, cilantro, brussel sprouts and kale came through the cold of the past week and are ok. There is even still some lettuce. We have lots of nice cauliflower. (bulk price $1.50/lb for 10 + lbs)
There is no broccoli for today but the plants came through ok and I expect to be picking broccoli again early next week. Brussel sprouts are abundant this year with an estimated 1,000 lbs. still left in the garden behind the barn. Bulk sale price for brussels is $2.25 lb. for 10 + lbs.
Andy Yoder is planning to be here at the stand again this afternoon from noon to 4:30pm selling his good homegrown chicken. Daniel
