Linda's Latest Musings
And <poof> just like that, it's fall.
Which, for me, is a good thing. Fall means I get to start reading to the school kids again, and visiting the young ones at Head Start. It means caramel and pumpkin flavors are more easily found (always a plus) and that flannel season and all its associated coziness isn't far away. And the height of coziness is curling up with a good (library) book, right? Yes, I love fall!
Christina highlighted our Fermentation Fest at the top of the newsletter - this is something we've been wanting to try for a while now, and hopefully you will find it as interesting as we do. If you are a home brewer or maker of kimchi or yogurt (or other fermented delight) and would like to have a table at the Fest, please let us know - we would love to have you. Give us a call at 294-3572, join the event on Facebook, or drop me a line.
