Champaign, OH:  Magnolia Wind


I’d rather not walk through the garden again
If I can’t catch your scent on a magnolia wind…
(Magnolia Wind-Guy Clark)

A very windy day, leading into a very windy evening. I was out in the wind, all day, and while I can handle the wind during the day, night time wind truly scares me. The noise, the brutal force, all of it. So, I have a few key songs that I sing to get me through it. This is one of them, and how fitting, with the name. Just a soothing tune, old, and covered by many artists.

As I am ending my day, I am having a glass of wine, reflecting on the day, happy and excited to be a part of my businesses, this market, our community, and all of you. The wind may come and go, but all of this, all of you, that is my constant.

Tonight is a perfect night to sit, as I open the market, and get my orders in. It’s cold, windy, and not much going on, so I am thinking ahead to the week, all that I have going on, and let’s not forget the upcoming Easter holiday!!

Think of what you may need from our market for your festivities!! Think about making your Easter dinner, Easter breakfast, Easter lunch, all from local items!! How beautiful a celebration to have a spread of nothing but local beauty.

Also, as we move into spring, and then summer, I want you to really think about your food, where it comes from in your shopping, and how it can be improved. Healthy, wealthy and wise…buying local, eating local, supports your health, your own personal wealth, because it’s so cost effective to eat from food that is grown in your local community, and the wise…more and more studies supporting how real food, whole food, non-gmo food, local food, natural food, organic food, not only improves your health, but it also improves your brain power. Your body needs food. It needs good food. It needs food that you know it’s origins…think about getting your food from us.

I will now let the wind take over, and also hoping that the wind blows you into our market…go ahead, let the windy night help you order…

We are your constant…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
