0064

Time to wear a new hat; today I'm a retailer.

I pick raspberries, potatoes, beets, carrots (from thinnings) and green beans. Clean these up a bit, pack them along with the small folding table & chair, and drive to the afternoon market in Duluth. Deb welcomes me warmly, and introduces me to the market format. A pleasant afternoon of comradery with the other growers and the fluctuating stream of customers. I sell everything except six beets and most of the potatoes. Not bad for a rookie.

A stop at Lenore's, give her the beets and some of the spuds, mow her lawn, and have supper with her, driving home after dark.
