In Case You Thought I Was Kidding

Yes, I really do go to work - why else would I wear this silly apron? Today (Saturday) saw a lot more people. I had to train a high school student for the afternoon shift. Me, after just a few days on the job training! I put out the wagons and produce in the morning after I've watered the plants. Believe it or not, it takes about an hour. I baked more cookies (yes, Marg, I do cookies) a few times today as they really do move. Actually, I'm enjoying the learning.

Tomatoes

Well, today I learned the fine art of putting field tomatoes into 3 l baskets. The father of the farmer was my instructor. He's very picky about how it's done and there is a knack that he has for it. Then again, he's been packing tomatoes for over 40 years. It's like doing a jigsaw puzzle unfortunately as I'm not good at that at all. Well, I managed and he only redid a few! Lots more activity today and more time with customers. I'm getting the hang of the cash register and debit and credit cards. No bar codes so I do have to know prices but I have a cheat sheet. Opening in the morning has lots of chores so I'm busy all the time.

The Waves

More Pancake Bay

I suppose it is silly to feel this way, but as nice as it was to come home from work and go for a swim I really miss the lake. So, it prompted me to look some more at the pictures from Pancake . I hope you enjoy them.

And What Was I Thinking?????

It seemed like a good idea at the time! I noticed on the sign outside Lindley's Farm Market that they were looking for fall help. I applied and they actually hired me. So, for the past two days I have been helping set up for the fall trade and we open tomorrow.

I have never done retail. I have never operated a cash register. For goodness sake they even have me baking cookies!

Need a pumpkin anyone? Oh well, it's just for 6 weeks.

Lions and tigers and bears - no moose!

The black bear is likely 3-4 years old. Still lots of growing to do.

After all my travels in Northern Ontario, NS and NB I have yet to set sights on a moose.

If you need to travel by car in any of these areas and want to be safe, call me!

Sorry Joyce

After dinner we went for a tour of the lake. It got a bit chilly.

Some people just have a sense for fashion - what can I say!
