Two Hams
The local Piggly Wiggly Super Market was a sponsor of the Ellaville Spring Festival. The Big Boss showed up to see how things were going. My tip: Never pass up the opportunity for a photo op with a Big Celebrity. Can you tell I’m in Hog Heaven?
This spring has been a great season of Arts and Crafts Festivals for us! We’ll be taking the summer off because it’s too hot in Georgia to spend an entire day out in the heat and humidity with the summer gnats.
What I’ve learned this Spring
- There are still a lot of paperback readers that love meeting an author and buying signed books
- I talked to several people who enjoy audiobooks; I added the goal to have all my books in audiobooks by the end of the summer.
- People are nice (but I already knew that)
- Always buy lunch from a food truck
- Vendors are a helpful bunch and are willing to share what they know
- Size matters: I had changed the font size of many of my books to a slightly smaller font to avoid raising the price for my books (printing costs are skyrocketing!), but there are many people of all ages that need the little larger font, so I switched back to the original size and narrowed the margins instead.
- My feet hurt after standing all day on concrete. FarmerMan’s solution: the chef’s mat we have in the kitchen. He’s brilliant.
BONUS: Our Fall Event Schedule is starting to fill up!

Chickens who go broody and won’t leave the nest go into the Bitter Barn to cool off. She’s crying fowl on the charges. If she begs you to open the barn door with a promise of eggs, she’s scamming you. Broody hens don’t lay eggs. There’s a story…
