Friday River Fest photos from July 24th

MercenaryD | July 31, 2009

  They are late and there is not a lot of them but here they are. The best thing was that this past fest we had two farmers with fresh produce. People are hankering for the fresh stuff, both nearly sold out of what they brought.

Dealing with Late Blight on Tomatoes and Potatoes

MercenaryD | July 30, 2009

I’m running a little late on doing things… again. It’s not that I flake out or anything like that, well mostly, but that I get busy in doing things like trying to make a little money to live on or something unplanned happens.
The latter has happened to me….
Some of you may have been paying attention [...]

Missing Sign

MercenaryD | July 22, 2009

Last night, actually the night before, someone stole one of our signs from the corner of Rt. 7 and Main street in Sidney. They then took our Chamber of Commerce sign, a yellow sandwich board sign that we were using for advertising of a couple of events and through it in the Susquehanna river.
Yesterday evening [...]

Finally the expo pics

MercenaryD | July 17, 2009

  Last week I had gone to the John Deere tractor expo, and I had promised to tell of my thoughts after I had gotten back. But it was late and then I had to do other things — and one thing led to another, including putting my father in the hospital the other day. [...]

From the garden

MercenaryD | July 12, 2009

Ok, I admit it I messed up. There were supposed to be a lot more photos than this, but I had my settings wrong on the camera so only a few came out with some quality to them.To those that expected to see more… I’m sorry.
We did get to hear some great music and chat [...]

Back from the expo

MercenaryD | July 9, 2009

I’m back but its too late to do anything but unload the pictures from the camera.
I’ll post some photos and tell you all about it later, when I’m done going through and editing the photos.

off to a tractor expo

MercenaryD | July 9, 2009

I have not posted for a few days, and that is both a good thing and a bad thing. Its good because it means that I’m busy, its bad because I get so busy that I forget to come in here and write. That said after I make the post for tomorrows River Fest, [...]

I don’t know whethter to be happy or sad

MercenaryD | July 1, 2009

The rabbit died early this morning.
On one hand it was a source of stress in the household — on the other it was a living creature.
No one but its owner really liked the rabbit, or should I say that no one but its owner liked the idea of it having the run of the down [...]
