Lagniappe

I love the Farmer's Market. I have a choice of two - one local and the other not so far away. The local one is smaller, with not as much variety but the prices are a bit better and the people seem more willing to give you a bit extra - what is known in Louisiana as "lagniappe". I got a couple of extra tomatoes, at least a pound of extra baby red potatoes, an extra little patty pan squash and an extra cucumber... and I know they will all taste wonderful. Match that, Wal Mart.

For just under $8 I have my vegetables for next week. I have my meat in the freezer, so everything is good.

I have been trying to sit Ken down and discuss how we can make this place more efficient. Everything has been done reactively instead of proactively. So there have been mistakes made. I now want to get things streamlined so that it isn't as much work. I am not getting any younger and need to work smarter instead of harder. I need to reduce my sheep and goats, I need to move the cow down to the larger field before she calves, I need to get the north area fenced and the pigs in to till it up for a garden...

There are times when I think I need a fairy Godmother. LOL
