If you are out and about on Saturday morning, stop by the Farm Markets and pick up a few mixes for the weekend.
I will be at Suttons Bay, Michael will be at Frankfort and Kelsi will be at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons. The weather looks great for the weekend and the mixes will be a great addition to your weekend gatherings.
Michael's newest Black Bean Beer Bread is so good! Get some dip and you will have a great snack combo!
Don't forget the pancakes! Holiday weekends are the best time to have a leisurely breakfast with pancakes and local maple syrup.
Have a great weekend! Hope to see you at the Market!

Turtles
I got to visit mom at her cabin on Sunday afternoon. We decided to take a Sunday drive to check out the countryside and it was a turtle convention!
Only a mile from the cabin and here was turtle #1. He was a big boy - about a foot long. He was in the middle of the road, taking a leisurely stroll. I stopped the car, stood behind him and told him to get moving, so he would not be squashed. He stepped up the pace and made it across the road safely.
One mile later, and another turtle was in the road. I had a truck close behind me, so I could not stop. I drove around him, but the truck had to go over the top of him. I wonder how Mr. Turtle felt when he had a giant vehicle drive over him? He was between the wheels, so did not get hurt. I still wonder how a turtle feels when someone drives over him?
When I left the next morning to come back to Traverse City, the second turtle was not in the road, so I have to hope he crossed the road safely.
Turtles are such neat creatures! God does good work!

Farm Market Time
Michael has been at the Farm Market at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons for the past few months and has really enjoyed meeting new Creekside Grains clients.
I was at the Suttons Bay Farm Market for the past two weekends. It was great seeing my vendor friends from last year and meeting new Creekside Grains clients.
Many of the Farm Markets will be starting up in a few weeks. By mid summer, we will be at about nine markets each week. I look forward to enjoying the beautiful summer weather and dining on fresh produce from the vendors!
Speaking of fresh produce, Michael is growing a small garden this summer. He has an 8'x8' plot started. The lettuce has already peeked out from under the dirt and looks promising. I grew up on a farm with a two acre garden (8'x8' is not two acres, but it works for me), so I am ready for fresh veggies from our own backyard, just like when I was growing up!
See you at the Markets!
