Fool’s Spring
We all fell for it. It was so nice out - and mud season was almost over. A Fool’s Spring to be sure. But today the snow is melting in the strong March sun and we are headed in the right direction again. Makes me think of my favorite Robert Frost poem…
To the Thawing Wind
Come with rain, O loud Southwester!
Bring the singer, bring the nester;
Give the buried flower a dream;
Make the settled snowbank steam;
Find the brown beneath the white;
But whate’er you do tonight,
Bathe my window, make it flow,
Melt it as the ice will go;
Melt the glass and leave the sticks
Like a hermit’s crucifix;
Burst into my narrow stall;
Swing the picture on the wall;
Run the rattling pages o’er;
Scatter poems on the floor;
Turn the poet out of door.
Sunday is Easter and we are taking pre-orders for Marilyn's Pies and Crossmolina Quiches - Order before the end of the day Thursday at the market or online at crossmolinafarm.com. Pick up is on Saturday.
March at the Cookeville Market means the return of spinach, lettuce and carrots from both our farm and other local producers, As always, we will be stocked with grocery staples, local milk, yogurt and cheeses, fresh goodies from Mariyln and a freezer full of our very own pastured meats- including smoked ham for your holiday feast!
Burger Night continues every Friday this month- stop by after 4 and pick up a freshly grilled burger with all the fixings. We also have honey BBQ or Buffalo Style chicken wings . It's a great way to end the week!
