A Beautiful Day at the Market


….warm temperatures, some sun, some clouds, time with family – Bonus!

Today was a special day. Time spent with my husband and youngest daughter are always special but when the weather in late October is pleasant and doesn’t require umbrellas, hats and mittens it becomes extra special. This is especially true when we venture out to one of my favourite places in the city…..the St. Lawrence Market and Farmers’ Market across the street.

Today there were lots of vendors outside the market under canopies, selling paintings, jewellery, clothes and lots of flowers, fruits and vegetables. We met our daughter around 9:00 at the market and decided to eat breakfast before we started our shopping. Normally that means pemeal bacon on a bun but we decided to sit down to for a complete breakfast meal.

Afterwards we headed out in separate directions. I looked for cheese and freshly baked bagels while G and K bought free range chickens and other meat for later in the week. Across the street at the north market we took in the sights and I purchased some beautiful orange sunflowers. Here are a few of things we saw today.

  1. What wonderful colours — reds, purples, oranges. The good weather here has made such a difference as we still have flowers blooming, and the leaves have lasted longer on trees. The last few days have been stormy but as we still haven’t had any frosts (almost unbelievable) we’re still picking tomatoes, though green but good for using in stir fries, and picking fresh herbs — Italian basil, Greek basil, lots of parsley, rosemary and thyme. Long may it continue, but as the clock has now changed it seems much more like winter with darkness falling around 5pm.
