Farmers Market Day! Garden to Plant in the finished Greenhouse, all is good.

Well we had a marathon day of baking yesterday, the girls help as much as they could but they spent most of the day helping entertain the grandkids, Bugs three were here, Mokie's two were here, Shinnys and New Mamma's grandson, Cartoons, was here as well. Eight children under 8 were way to much help for one kitchen, the kids played in the yard and with the goats. Cartoons watched cartoons, he is two, played a little but mostly watched bugs bunny and friends. His dad picked him up around noon. Poppie dropped Bugs off around 6:30ish and Mokies were here until 8ish so a long day of cooking and kid watching. Today I need a break.  We did end up with 3 peach pies, 3 rhubarb pies, 2 apple pies, 10 loaves of rustic sourdough bread, 6 foccacia's and one deep dish pizza that Poppie had wanted for dinner.

I did find time to rebatch the soap for the deodorizers, and make up a couple toddler items, bread doughs have to raise after all.  I will unmold the really smelly soaps today and see if they will fit in the deodorizers as I planned, if not back to the drawing board. The girls will be packed up and to the farmers market by 8:30ish, the market starts at 9.  They are excited to spend the morning with Grandpa, and they like the interaction with the people that come to the market.  They do get lots of questions about how the breads are made, what is in the pies, and what is on the foccacia's.  They have their little accounting list for all their sales and each have a money chest. They really enjoy the morning they spend there.

Poppie escaped from the kids yesterday and got all of the pvc roofing on the greenhouse. This afternoon we will get dirt and manure mixture in the beds and the greenhouse plants planted. I plan to veg some, do some sewing and dirt digging.  Dirt digging is very good for the soul and the body so I plan a good cleansing this afternoon, after the market is over. Maybe a Picnic in the woods...... tomorrow.
