The Week Ahead - Hurricane Season, Farmers Market, Awendaw Green and the Sweetgrass Festival

Feverish job hunting has put the blog on the back-burner for a week or so. If you know anyone looking for an energetic, hard-working, sociable, multi-talented innovator with a great track record - send them my way. Save me from standing on the corner with a "will work for food" sign. Any leads will be humbly appreciated!

This week brings in the official start of the hurricane season (check out our Hurricane Guide) - not so excited about that, the Farmer's Market sprouting today (Tuesday), Awendaw Green buzzing on Wednesday, Fridays on the Point and the Annual Sweetgrass Festival on Saturday. There's bound to be something happening Thursday, which has eluded my radar. I'll have to suss it out to fill out the week.

Let's start with hurricane season, which starts tomorrow June 1st. I always eat my least favorite food first. I'll try to post frequent updates, should a storm appear to be headed this way. Don't put off your seasonal prep any longer, supplies get scarce when a storm's imminent.
