Harvest time

I wish that my camera was working so that I could show all of the beautiful produce Mark brought home. One of the surprising upsides of the terrible market for teachers in St. Catharines has been his job at an organic farm just outside of town. He's been working insane hours this week - >12 hours on market days - but he's been liking it. Yesterday, he went with his boss to the Dufferin Grove Farmers market. This was the market just up the street from us when we lived in Toronto, and it was full of amazing produce and organic products (and the most delicious bread I've ever had in my life) year round. The summer season is just wrapping up at the market, and Mark's farm will only be going there for one more week (so stop by next Thursday and say hi to Mark!). Too bad, because look what he brought home last night: peaches, plums, grapes (green and red), onions, garlic, a squash (possibly a small melon?), potatoes, peppers and MY BREAD. MMMMM. I just had a sandwich with it, complemented by TWO lattes, and I'm in heaven.

I shouldn't complain too much, this is what we have now, lining the streets in easy biking distance:



Sadness: Mmmmmegs flew off to France last night. Canada is now Megsless. That is a very sad thought, but I am happy for the French. Have fun and come home soon, lady!
