DAY 216 – Farmers’ Market & Swimming Dogs

I’m writing this in the early evening. I still have several hours before I go to bed but the day has been so full already that I can’t think of anything else I can do that would be worth writing about.

We started the day with our weekly trip to the farmers’ market. We love that place. Tomatoes, potatoes, corn, cabbage, chickens, pork, flowers, kettle corn…you name it and they have it. Massages and Angora yarn being woven right off the bunny. Sculpture made of spoons and honey on the comb. Signs made of metal and rhubarb bread. It is almost more that the senses can take in.

After we purchased our onions, blue berries and mushrooms, we drove to some friends’ home to help them move. It really was only one U-Haul truck full of worldly belongings and it didn’t take too long. What a joy to help people you love.


After we arrived home, I took Sidney to the lake for a little work out. She is a natural. She loves her new retrieval toy and, while her swimming needs a little practice (her form is rather rough), her ability to spot the decoy and bring it in is rather impressive.
