Tuesday Morning in the North Country

Awake to a gorgeous summer day.

Breakfast of delicious fresh fruit.

Quiet early morning on the couch with the Lord.

Seeing #2 and #3 sons first thing in the morning.

Hearing the buzz of saws and the pounding of nails.

Call from daughter to see if I needed anything in Massena.

Walk downtown to Farmers Market, pass a friendly Amish buggy on Main Street.

We wave to each other.

The downtown square is filled with local vendors and many friends. dad's walking with their children, kids playing in the fountain, neighbors buying produce.

Local farmers and craftsmen selling their wares; vegetables, fruit, wine, jewelry, plants, maple syrup, donuts and baked goods.

Back home to pick green beans, squash, lettuce, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers.

Blanching beans and freezing 5 quarts for winter.

Preparing wonderfully sweet corn for dinner tonight with Grandma and Uncle Don.

Sharing lettuce and cucumbers with resident workmen.

The simple, north country life. It is wonderful!
