are the vegetables, and fruits, attractive? Do they want you to take them home?

When I shop at my local farmers market I find that the fruit and veg lasts twice as long in my fridge compared to the store bought stuff.
I should go more often, but parking is a bitch.

I brought home a farm raised chicken for dinner tomorrow. And a loaf of bread. As the Spring progresses there will be fruits and veggies, although there were potatoes, onions, and ramps fresh from the woods. Also, jams and jellies, eggs (both chicken and duck), handmade jewelry, stone ground flour and cornmeal...oh the list is already enormous! The pavilion will have to be expanded.

I am envious, what a gift to have this so close to your home.
You are blessed.

You deserve good food, give yourself the treat of going there, it'll warm you.

The farmers I were able to speak with use all non-gmo seeds and even feeds for their stock. One poultry farmer is now breeding the Heritage White Holland turkey! I know where my Thanksgiving Turkey will come from this year (nods).

Oh I forgot the goats milk products! cheese and soaps to name a couple.

I was too young to be a hippie in the sixties, maybe I'll get to be a hippie in my sixties (if I live that long)

Order that turkey now.

Goats, I like goats. I really like their cheese and soaps.

Oh! Stop that, you'll make, I know I will, only have seven more years to go, then I will be sixty. Booyah! Throw that gauze skirt on and *peace sign*

Unfortunately, the market has now moved location, and to get there is a nightmare. Have to park several blocks away and carry everything by hand back to the car (very heavy and difficult as I have psoriatic arthritis.)
Next spring I plan to grow much of what I consume in my own backyard.... haven't had a vege garden for 3 years now
I am already mulching and seasoning soil in readiness.

Heh - I have always been a hippie
Or at the very least, alternative!

A garden at home sounds better for you. Deep mulching eliminates much of the weeds, less work for your body.

In my bones, in my very bones, a hippy, but I bathe more then the myths about them say.

I am anxious to start my garden. It will be somewhat bigger this year. Not by much as we have some other outdoor projects about to happen, my work schedule makes creativity with time use a necessity. But, unless Mother nature decides not to smile on my efforts, there will be a full pantry this fall.

You know, I considered ordering a turkey today, but I have their email addy, so that can be accomplished with less chance of being lost in the shuffle.

I look forward to the day I can trade my scrubs in for a gauze skirt and flowers in my hair. I "should " make it there, but as is with life, nothing is guaranteed.

Lol.... my OCD makes sure I am far cleaner than I probably should be
I have a wardrobe full of happy pants, wrap skirts and peasant tops, which are much more colourful and loud than my kids are happy to be seen with in public!
As the weather cools, I wear 2, 3, sometimes 4 different skirts layered over eachother, and long-sleeved tops under short-sleeve tunics with a coat over the whole lot.
I carry a billim bag and wear scarves (even when I had hair!)
I make my own detergents etc. I shop at healthfood and wholefood stores with empty jars to stock up on lentils and stoneground grains.

My kids friends all think I'm 'cool'..... my own kids say they're embarrassed to be seen with me

My first free weekend in a long time, I am exploring the idea of being free, and looking through all my project bags, figuring out where I left off, letting my mind decompress, and washing all the woollies but before putting them up for the spring and summer. I won't have a garden this year, but next year, when the bundle of happiness is older, I will have a garden for her.
I wear skirts light and airy when I am at home, I make them, long skirts of multi-coloured hues.

I need more comfortable clothes, I really do. I taught myself to knit and I have made several long shawls, and they make me so happy when I am wrapped in their squishy warmth, like layering my skirts in the early winter too.

Children don't appreciate us until them are much older.

Can you get a parking pass/ badge for your condition? G has psoriasis, but not the arthritis. He is having amazing treatment right now that has changed his psoriasis dramatically, he has hardly any. I don't know if it has any impact on the development of psoriatic arthritis though.

A shopping basket on wheels is not as unspeakable as it used to be it's also worth going on foot once to see where the sellers are from and if any key sellers you might be interested in buying from operate box delivery schemes, have gate/ farm sales and are within reasonable distance for buying from there, or sell to outlets near you too.

I have long since found an effective treatment for my plaques - haven't had any active psoriasis plaques for over 20 years!
Thought I'd escaped the PsA, but symptoms I've had for several years have all added up now that I have a better understanding of the arthritis, and I am waiting to see a rheumatologist for a definative diagnosis (and only a rheumy can prescribe the meds I need to control it.)
I have a bag on wheels, that's not the problem.
The problem is my PsA is mainly in my ankles, knees, elbows and fingers .... all of which I need to cart bags of potatoes, carrots etc for 4+ blocks!

I refuse to knit.
I do crochet though! I am halfway through making an afghan-stitch floor length coat
Hopefully it will be finished in time for winter!

I understand the impact, that's why I wonder if there is disability parking scheme for which you are eligible?


To have no plaques is incredible! Congratulations! No flares even with stress? G gets end of winter increase ( particularly here, where it's grey) and certainly high pressure increases. On this medication he doesn't seem to be getting the conversion from skin damage to plaque, which is good. Luckily G is pretty unbothered by his. G's dermatologist does not aim for this, merely almost none, they said they even want a patch left to monitor activity.

It wouldn't make much difference if I had a parking permit as the area where the market is now has almost no parking in the surrounding streets (which is why we have to park so far away.)

I am extraordinarily lucky in that my plaques respond super-well to basic treatment and I do not get stress/winter outbreaks!
I am active on a psoriasis forum and I see loads of posts from people that have tried literally everything and get no relief
