The Carrot Cake Bonus

Muggy today and we kept getting rain threats that never happened.





After chores I went down to the Farm Market to check things out.




I bought tomatoes, zucchini and a loaf of raisin bread from Gregory's.  It was not even 9am so it was pretty quiet.


Took it easy most of the day and Gary worked in the gardens.  Around 2:30 I had a visitor who is also an art teacher.  Months ago I gave her some easels she could use in her classes and today she took home 4 more.  She currently has students who are painting on the banks of the Erie Canal and they were just right as they don't weigh a lot and are easy to transport.  I also gave her at least a dozen art books that I no longer need.  I found out about her through one of Janet's friends and am so glad I was able to meet her in person.
No plans for dinner so I ordered a thin crust cheese pizza from Wegmans.  Before leaving to pick it up I sautéed some onions and peppers to put on the top.  Also made a salad.  When I got there (Wegs) I knew something was wrong as my pizza was not ready.  Either the person who took my order did not say I wanted thin crust or the guys making pizza made one with regular crust by mistake.  Anyway, I had to wait and the manager of the area must have felt sorry for me....she let me pick out a piece of cake on the house.

A 6 dollar piece of carrot cake!  Now we have dessert!
By the time I got back to the farm, the dark clouds disappeared and the sun was out.

The gnats were terrible tonight.  If we could just get the rain.






Night all.

  3. We had rain but we have been so dry it won't matter if we don't get more. I'm really out of the loop. $6 seems like a lot for a slice of cake! That made your wait worthwhile. It's always a pleasure to give someone something they can use and you don't need anymore.
