Our Debt

Crazy Weather !!!

I know everywhere seems to be having crazy weather this year.  Just a few weeks ago we had frost that killed some of my veggie plants and now we have had 90 degree temps for two days now.  Today is suppose to be close to it.  This is crazy !!!  My broccoli is starting to bolt because it is too hot out.   So sad :(  I was looking forward to a good crop this year. However,  I am excited that the farmer's market opens tomorrow for this year.  I love going to the market.  We are blessed to have one that opens Tuesday and Friday morning from May thru November and then on the square on Saturdays starting in June thru Oct.
