Farmer's Market—Week 4, June 25, 2012

It was a good week. Windy, but good.


The weather today was perfect. Couldn't ask for anything better. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing, there wasn't a spec of rain in sight, and the temperature was very comfortable at 70-something. Good weather = good day at the market. The crowd was much more steady this week than the past two weeks when the weather was a bit threatening. I don't think it really slowed down until after 6:00. I sold all but two packs of cookies, so yay me!


I was surprised at the number of people that stopped and asked if I had anything sugar-free again this week, which I did not. This week's cookie of the week was snickerdoodles. I was surprised, also, by how many people thought that a snickerdoodle was a peanut butter cookie of some sort. I sold my pie early on, and sold half of my happyjacks in the first 15 minutes. I knew then that it was going to be a good day.


Several folks stopped by today that I haven't seen yet this season, and it was nice to see their faces again. A older fellow stopped by and bought some cookies, then came back later and asked if I were married because he wanted to take me out for a cup of coffee. I told him I was married....to Jack... and that he's quite happy, and so am I, so thank you, but no thank you. I honestly think that was the first time I've been hit on in at least 10 years, if not much longer than that. It was kind of awkward.


I'm not going to be at the market next week, as we're taking a long weekend trip to Washington, D.C. Our daughter has been begging to go for two reasons: the Smithsonian, and Georgetowne Cupcake. Hopefully we'll be able to see both.


Until two weeks from now, have a yummy day!
