Restorative Saturday

I did get to the Mills River Farmers Market yesterday and made a stop on the way back at the feed and seed spot where I buy Mills River corn.  It is so fabulous, particularly on the day I buy it, which is the same day it's picked.

I made the mistake I make every year--I bought 12 ears, even though there are only 2 of us.  At $7.00, it's a heck of a deal.  I also bought a lot of produce at the Farmer's Market:  yellow crookneck squash, okra, tomatoes, baby delicata squash, blueberries, and a cantaloupe.  I'm hoping it encourages me to eat more vegetables this week.

Each time I go to the Mills River Farmers Market, I try to support one young entrepreneur.  Sometimes, it's something edible:  a dozen eggs, some muffins or cookies.  Often it's crafts, like a potholder.  Yesterday, I bought these earrings:

My Saturday was restorative in so many ways:  food, friends (by way of Zoom), family (by way of telephone), relaxing by watching episodes of Freaks and Geeks, which is still holding our attention halfway through the series.

Now it is time to get ready to go across the mountain to preach and preside at Faith Lutheran in Bristol, TN.  It's Mary and Martha Sunday, and my sermon will be somewhat different (to read it, see this post on my theology blog).
