Ramblings-n-Writings

A couple of weekends ago, the local farmers’ market held a Wild Foods Potluck dinner with music by a local group. The wild foods part was good. A large majority of the food was made with home-grown foods or wild animals like deer or rabbit. (No, I didn’t eat the rabbit, although my husband said it was quite good. I couldn’t bare the thought of eating Flopsy or Peter!)

The music was provided by the Calhoun County Kitchen Band and included authentic instruments. We arrived after the lady pictured played a washboard. According to my father-in-law, the washboard was an excellent instrument in this lady’s hands. For the majority of the songs, she played the drum shown in the front of the photo. For one song she totally intrigued me by playing the spoons. The spoons were nothing special – just your average dinner spoon – but in her hands, they became a musical instrument. She kept up an awesome rhythm throughout the entire song. By ‘awesome’ I mean for two little spoons, it was pretty cool!

Stay tuned for a picture of our new milk cow!
