Yesterday was the opening day of the outdoor Norwich Farmers’ Market!  We had wonderful weather which will hopefully prove to be auspicious in the weeks to come.  This season will mark our 15th year vending at the market!

Mary Keefe, the woman who modeled for Norman Rockwell’s famous painting “Rosie the Riveter” recently passed away at the age of 92.   She was living the last years of her life in my hometown of Simsbury, CT.   In the painting she is holding a ham sandwich so to honor her we are re-naming for at least a few weeks the #3 Rumpole Ham Sandwich after her.  The obituary of her is very interesting, I recommend you all read it.   Another connection to that time period in our history has ended – very sad.
