Hope that you all are well today... and Hello from Marshville.....
Just having my first cup of Coffee... and was able to get a bit of rest as well... Not even any noise from the Neighbor's ... (they must have gone somewhere for the day...)
And this is the one day a Year that Many of the "upstanding Citizens" of this little town are gone...
... if only they would Not return... and just realized that Saturday is to be our annual "Boil Weevil Festival" ( and Jamboree) .... we seldom attend... and cannot afford any of the foods or (lesser) attractions They block off the streets and the day even begins with a cool Classic and Customized Car , Truck (and a few antique Tractors.... we are a "farming Community" from way back...) Show... we like to walk and look at the cool cars... and the evening is live music and later some "dancing"...
... an old celebration of the "Cotton Harvest.... Another year of having beaten the dreaded "Boil Weevil".... that was what this celebration was originally about.... Most of the Farmers had worked through the entire Summer and Now was the time to relax... the crops for the year had been gathered.... So a "Harvest" festival....
just a bit of "Holiday history" of where I live....
Was just doing a bit of checking ... due to a harvesting delay in (India and parts of South America) some parts of the world ... the "Market price" of Cotton was "High" (near "Record" high) as the Market opened today and may stay as high for a couple of weeks ... though these "prices" will come down in the next couple of weeks... cotton prices will remain "Higher" than in the Past....
