Donya, our resident baker, decided to get a booth for the summer at the farmer's market in New Hampton. Wednesdays and Thursdays the baked goodies smells coming from our kitchens kick starts appetites. The guys at the barn are hoping she will not sell everything in the 2 hours she sets up her tables. Last week she brought back very little along with a list of items to bake the next day for locale customers that can't get over to the market. She had ran out of flour baking for the quilt retreat so I had to make a trip to the Mennonite store to buy another 100 pounds of unbleached flour.
We can visit many Mennonite stores near the barn. Lots of green houses, a dry goods store and of course.. our favorite... the grocery store. I have not visited the furniture makers, but Don has made a few trips to their hardware stores.
A lot of the Mennonite families use horse and buggy, but there are some 'driving' Mennonites.
It is hot and muggy, with clouds. Please please ... rain !!
