Mindful breathing, cognitive behavioural therapeutic tools. Oh, and buying biscuits!

What’s the best way to deal with negative thoughts?

Wiarton, Ontario, Canada.

I appreciate the brave souls who persevered the heat and visited the event.

The gun-metal blue-grey clouds looming west of the city opened up once we were driving (defensively) up the Wiarton hill towards Colpoys Bay.

Today’s market experienced +41C humidex conditions. Gusting winds. And overheating patrons. We enjoyed the event and are REALLY glad to be recovering in our (Evolve Builders Grp. [Guelph]) strawbale home in the forest. Cooks, your Mitsubishi heat-pump is providing cooling relief!

…for sale at the Owen Sound Farmer’s Market. My childhood fear of west coast, British Columbian Lysichiton americanus was odd. They just looked like they attracted flies for consumption. They here was a memorable Scientific American article about the plant. It has heat generating tissue thet allows it to poke through spring snow and attract its pollinators. Flying insects! Hell, according to the forbidden website of knowledge (wikipedia link here), bears eat it as a natural laxative post hibernation.

Open until 12:30 p.m. EST

In the meantime, drop by the market to pick up animal treats.

Saturday May 30/26

The morning chill’s almost gone. There’s blue sky. It’s a good start to an Owen Sound Farmer’s Market (OSFM).

From 8 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.
We’re installing a bear-resistant garbage bin.

It’s warmer in Tobermory…

…compared to last week. Sunny too! Come and visit our marketplace, until 1 p.m. and then meander the teat of our local community. May 20, 2026.

Until 1 p.m.

This is a new product. It’s based on what cats would eat if they were eating rodents out in the wild. It’s fascinatingly gruesome. Ask us about it.

Meat free.

May 13th. Rain? Yep… we’ll still try the Tobermory Makers-Craft Event.

07:25 EST. Stay tuned. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1587648423361338&set=a.508477471278444

Month-At-AGlance shared document gives me a clue and my spouse can update it. Our dry-erase board plans out our workflow…. 7 days at 1 go.

We’re at the market today. Drop by and shop local, eh.


Every time we set up a sales booth! April 25th ✅

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

…As we set up at the Owen Sound Farmer’s Market.

We want to offer dog treats, comfortable (pup) jackets, 3D printed kit, paw wax, books, and human-hats. And that means selling our wares. Success? Ask us again at the end of the season!!
