I've had a blast painting signs on these very rainy days!
And no, not all the left turns lead to Smith's BerryWorks
We sold 150 quarts at the State Office Building Farmers Market today
(no picture to prove it, I have yet to have time to snap pictures or it's been raining and taking a picture of the money seems not quite right, but it is fun to count it!)

Our Praying Mantises never hatched
This, well there is a lot to say about this.
We were on are way to New York City.
What you see now is what we have left.
This built on box used to be walled in.
That is why this is bad.
Though, it could have been ugly
had the wood that fell off
and hit a driving car.
We have wasted a lot of berries...
They may look okay now,
but you just wait...
This may not look so bad,
but trust me, it is.
I went down to the patch
to direct a worker on what to do.
In the mean time, these sat in front of the house.
(just under the eaves I might add)
Just waiting for the rain.
YUP, sudden down poor.
I had to sprint up the big-bad hill
and move them into the house.
THEY WE SOAKED
and trust me...
it was
BAD!
The UGLY:
Give those berries above a few days
and they'll look like this! Just UGLY!
As I finished this post, I am sad to say that it's gotten ugly outside and it's raining again.
One more ugly thing I have to write about is that, tomorrow is Thursday, which is suppose to be a NYC day. But as I am sure you've guessed it. The rain has kept us from picking enough berries to make the trip worth it.
I'd hate to end on such an ugly note so I'll leave you with these great pieces of news:
I am finally making progress with my last job's discrepancies and finally getting paid for the unpaid hours, some of them - at least so far.
Our bees are doing great and making honey - that we might end up selling in NYC.
My brother is back home safely, after I enjoyed having him here for 3 weeks!
And even though this rain keeps bringing me down, I am still loving it here and it can't keep me from loving the One who brings it and takes it away!
