so after 7 years of paying attention i have determined the busy months for me are sept. and oct. and jan and feb. year after year these are my busy months. any one notice this? to what do u attribute this? it is good my busy months come right before my slow months. the holidays are slower because we all spend our money on holidays and our time with family. and then march and april are slow because it is spring time and everyone is getting back to the outdoors and enjoying the weather and gardens. that is my theory. anyone else keep track enough to say when their busy months are? I have had a fabulous sept and oct and stored up enough nuts to make it thru the upcoming lean months.
