As anyone can see, I am still wandering the fields of sunflowers. Alas, they are almost finished, although technically they won't be truly over for a few more weeks. The farm will be closing down as the majority have peaked all of their prettiness. People will only pay for the very best, can you blame them?
It will be sad to see them go, but, the silver lining to all of this is that they will be back. So, it won't be tomorrow, but, it won't be forever either.

Starting immediately, #MarketFriday will be paused for a period of time. I want to thank you for your support along the way and I look forward to seeing you back when I resume the posting concept.

MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
MarketFriday loves you!
And just like that, this post is done. As always, there must be flowers to color my world. #alwaysaflower
