I even shut my phone off. 📵
We skipped Sedalia Area Farmers' Market.
And for a couple of days, we stepped away from the constant go-go-go.
We love our customers, and we know we had things in the works — potential orders, quotes, and messages waiting. But from April to the holidays, it’s seven days a week. Early mornings. Late nights. Always available. Markets, prepping, restocking, answering messages. Plus the office work — planning, list making, spreadsheets, websites, social media… and the list goes on. Add in Rich’s health challenges, and some days it’s just… a lot.
This past weekend was about rest. Quiet. Unplugging. No dings, no notifications, no pressure to answer right away. Even took time to do some reading. Even then, “time off” still meant planting fall crops and tackling a few farm jobs (because the work never really stops). But that slower pace was exactly what we needed.
Breaks like this remind us how important it is to slow down now and then. We’re grateful for the chance to recharge, for the life we live, and for the people we get to share it with. Blessed? Absolutely. Back at it? You bet — just maybe not quite ready to give up that slower pace. 😉 If we missed your message, send it again — we’re here and happy to catch up.
