Not Sleeping In

No I’m not sleeping in these days nor have I run out of things to say. You kidding?

I just seem to be juggling cats most all the time any more and wondering in years past where I found the time to spend filling this page with dog and snake stories, grampa tales and avuncular pronouncements about things environmental.

Below: some of what I’ve been up to by way of a “story” I created (with a few images also from Andy M) from Saturday’s Floyd Market Breakfast, organized and made to happen by SustainFloyd and a lot of great community volunteers.

Floyd Market Father's Day

Money made above costs will go to support the market operations, promotion and maintenance, and we ALL benefit!
