BALDWIN —
Hello from Baldwin. How is everyone’s week going?
I hope everyone is having a great one.
It sure is cold tonight as I sit here and write my article. But, if we hold on, it’s supposed to be much warmer this Saturday.
On Tuesday, my brother and my neighbor mowed hay again. It sure has been a good hay year, I believe everyone will have enough hay to get through the winter this year.
Happy birthday wishes go out next week to Beverly Applegate, Sunday; Billy Kelley, Monday; Brandon Howard, Tuesday; John Portwood and Jessica Morris, Thursday; and Jessica Hiten, Justin King and Melissa Barber, Saturday.
I hope you have very happy birthdays and many more happy ones to come.
This will be the last Saturday for Isbell & Smith Farm Fresh Produce at the Madison County Farmers Market.
Other vendors will still be there, but, for us, it is the end of the season.
If you need to order any zucchini breads, sourdough bread, jam, jellies, etc., just give us a call.
Meanwhile, you can get all your fall decorating supplies at the market – pumpkins, cushaws, gourds, fodder and much more, plus some vegetables.
Otter Creek Farm is still there with beef, sold by the pound, quarter, halves and whole beefs. Just give Keith Park a call or drop by the market. He is who you want to see.
It has been a good year and we will miss seeing all our customers, but all good things have to come to an end.
My sisters and I will be setting up at some craft fairs in November, so maybe we will see you there. I will give you more information next week.
Well, I guess that’s all for now.
If you hear any news, be sure to call me at 623-4579 or e-mail pljones61@netzero.com.

Muffins, and not the kind you wear on one’s head...
I spent a couple of weeks this past month in Texas. One of my best friends who lives in the Dallas area developed the best recipe to use bran in a muffin. I have found this to be a great breakfast meal epically if one is one the go and no time to stop and fix a meal. Just pop into the microwave oven to reheat

Local farmers markets abound in Madison County
We all know we should eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, but many of us don’t get the recommended servings. Fruits and vegetables are important to our diet because they provide necessary nutrients and are high in dietary fiber and low in calories, fat and cholesterol. They provide a variety of phytochemicals, antioxidants and nutrients that help you stay healthy in a variety of ways.

Running or walking: which is better?
Running and walking both have their pros and cons.
Recent research, published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that habitual runners gain less weight than habitual walkers, when the amount of energy they expend in their workouts is the same.
And another study, published in the same month in a different journal, showed that running is no better than walking for the prevention of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and coronary heart disease. - More Lifestyles & Community Headlines
