In anticipation of Saturday's festival and my booth, Trooper asked callmelydia to help him with his hemp necklace that I made him. He then told her that he was wearing it so that he could be an "appetizer".  She thinks he meant advertiser.

The weather is changing. I love this time of year when I have to step out on the porch to ‘taste’ the air just to know what to wear.
