Well it was a long tiring day but a good one none the less. We sold out of all baked goods except a few loaves. We have a lot of interest for next year's CSA. Several quilt orders. Demonstrating quilting was a blast. The kids both had fun and I think even Jay had fun as well.

I will post pictures of everything and everyone as soon as I can get my camera working again. It is having memory issues.

Morgan did not take a nap but we have had no melt downs either. This is a major accomplishment for the 22 month old. The gentlemen next to us Larry Cox, a local high school science teacher in Alleghany County, raises honey bees and was there with a hive for show, a lot of sourwood honey and even some tulip poplar honey. Morgan became fasicnated watching the bee's buzz around in their glass hive.

Claire got to watch someone make baskests by hand, she was learning how to make bobbin lace and spent quite a bit of time learning about guitars and banjos and listening to JAM (Junior Appalachian Musicians).

Jay kept watched over the children who ran in every direction, took care of bring food and drinks back to the table and was supportive of the whole venture. If he hadn't been there to help with the kids, it would have been a miserable failure. He has moved into the role of Mr. Mom for now, as the fall/winter projects of the farm center more in my domain of cooking and sewing. We can say that the farm is almost completely supporting us at the moment. We won't ever be rich, we don't want to be. But I honestly think that even our little 3/4 acre of heaven will be perfect for us for now and support us quite nicely the way a homestead should support it's family.

Well, off to relax and recover from today's event. We still have the wine tasting festival next Sunday in Laurel Springs, NC to gear up for. So there will be no time off until after that. There is also the volunteering at the school, doctor's appointment and a bunny run to make this week. So as usual I will post when I can. I wish I could post daily but such is life. :)

Blessings to all.

PS Don't forget tonight is the fall equinox!! ;)
