Laughing Tree Bakery of Hart

This is definitely the time of year when the weather starts getting even more unpredictable as usual… One minute the kids are outside building houses out of bakery firewood and blankets and the next minute we are scrambling to drag blankets up onto the porch so they don’t get rained on.  Wait another twenty minutes and we are back out playing in the yard and tending to outside chores—like picking raspberries!  We’ve noticed the buzzing bees and yellow jackets and wasps are more intense than usual this fall (we can’t keep them out of the cases at market) and the raspberry patch is swarming with them—I’m afraid to take the baby into the patch!  Do the bugs know something we don’t know?  Like maybe it’s going to be a brutal winter?  We shall see…  In the meantime, thanks for coming out and supporting us at the markets rain and shine!
