Hi, everybody!! Another week has come and gone! This has been a big clean out week at our house. It sure feels good to get everything scrubbed down, organized, and cleaned out, but I’m kicking myself for waiting until two weeks before school starts to start! Maybe some of you can relate. Lol.

The countdown is on! In 3 days, it will be National Relaxation Day! Who knew that was even a thing? I know I’ve never heard of it before. Anyway, it has been celebrated in the United States since 1985. I can dream of a lot of things I would like to do if I had an entire day to relax. One thing’s for sure, it would not involve any type of cleaning or organizing! Ha!

Area fall sports and activities have started and some have even had scrimmages and games. Good luck to all our area teams! It gives a lot of people a lot of enjoyment watching these sporting events and activities, so just know we are all rooting for ya!

Here’s the weekly update for outside!

We put in our first fall flower order! Can’t wait to get the outside decorated and ready for the beautiful, fall months ahead! We have some gorgeous combination mums coming….Hocus Pocus, Candy Corn, Ghost Buster, and Traces of Fall! There will also be mums of every color, mum baskets, pansies, black eyed Susans, ornamental peppers, blanket flowers, and asters. These will come in a variety of sizes and colors.

We also ordered mums in football team containers! Hopefully, we have your favorite team: Buckeyes, Mountaineers, Browns, Bengals, and Steelers. (Sorry to all you Michigan fans….Jim couldn’t bring himself to click on the button to order these! Just teasing…it wasn’t an option.)

We will also have bales of straw, pumpkins, and corn shucks as well! The first order will be in the week of Labor Day weekend. It’s not too early to start thinking of what you want!

Here is the update for the inside of the market….

The produce section is moving and shaking as everyone is enjoying the fresh, local produce available! Here is a list of everything that we have: peaches, nectarines, blueberries, blackberries, corn on the cob, onions, sweet potatoes, potatoes, bananas, hot peppers, green peppers, cabbage, cucumbers, mushrooms, carrots, celery, zucchini, yellow squash, cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, and tomatoes!

Check out the picture below of one of our large cookie trays! Fresh, home baked cookies in whatever kinds you want! They really are perfect for any occasion!

You will now see hot dog buns freshly baked each morning in our bakery. Sounds like we all need to add chili dogs or a polish sausage with peppers and onions to our weekly menu, so we can try this new item!

Huck’s is happy to be partnering with Hein-Alsbach Gardens Farm in Lowell to provide our customers with some lovely, fresh cut flower bouquets! I got to know Tracee, because she subs often in our school building. She’s also a wonderful artist! Here’s what she shared with me about her farm….Our family farmhouse was built sometime around 1850, and my husband and I have been working on the property about 30 years. We moved here June of 2000 I believe. We’ve planted hundreds of trees and have extensive flower beds and some veggies. We like to can, make sauerkraut, etc. Tracee is going to be bringing sunflower bouquets this morning (Sat) and then will be bringing more types as they begin to bloom! Let’s bring some sunny color to our kitchen or coffee tables!

Duck Creek Candle Co. has just restocked with some fall scents! Check out Pumpkin Buttercream. Iced Gingersnaps, Snickerdoodle, Appalachian Pine, and Caramel Sugar Cookie. Oh, my, these smell perfect!

We have restocked the Yoder’s Good Health Recipe Tonic. Its motto is…. It puts a pep in your step!

Jumbo dill pickles are cooling in the deli for $.99 each. They can add the perfect crunch on the side of your deli sandwich!
