A Week at the Farm Market Day 5: Thursday
Thursday is my veggie market day.
I begin Thursdays by picking as many flowers as I know I’ll be able to strip before leaving for market (assuming enough have bloomed since Wednesday’s market). Thursday is the Cheshire Market, which is the market I can bring veggies to as well. If it’s early in the season, I check the fruit trees when I go out to feed the animals too.
A few minutes before leaving time I once again load the melt-ables, flowers, and veggies. The trick is putting the cooler in at just the right angle so it fits well into my tiny car. If it’s during autumn, I have long stalks of broom corn and an old milk can to add to the puzzle as well.
After I get setup at Cheshire, I put bouquets together from the flowers I picked that morning. 
Snack time is conveniently supplied by the daily soup served in the gas station behind the farm market. The Broccoli and cheese is my favorite.
Cheshire ends a little earlier than Victor and it’s a little closer to home, so I get home a bit earlier. I unload the car, including the tent this time because I won’t be needing it for the Saturday market. Then it’s time to dump all the tarps from Tuesday night. The cows are once again very happy critters. If it’s still light out, I wash out and fill the flower buckets and vases for the next day. If it’s already dark, I do it by flashlight, and have fun watching how the light beam shines through the sides of the bucket like a lantern (yes, I’m easily amused).
