Neighborhood 4th of July

My beloved Taxman joined me for my Farmer's Market morning. It rained and it was cold. We couldn't believe that July 4th could be so darned cold. Sweatshirts were not quite warm enough, but we managed. I actually had a strong urge to cry but controlled myself because I felt supported by my love. I know he did it just to be supportive...I only sold four bars...it was pitiful. I think it had more to do with the fact that I was in a bad spot due to late arrival. Humans are odd sorts, they are a bit like mice: follow around the edge of the cage - keep nose outer edge...sniff, sniff...whatever you do don't look at the open center area...you might smell some wonderfully therapeutic essential oils wafting from the handmade soaps...
