On Friday night, a mosquito landed on me whilst I dined on a patio. It was that sort of weather all the long weekend. The sunny days and warmish nights had us out and about to the max, and has our garden blooming again!
It was such a jam-packed lovely weekend that I'll have to take it in installments, so I can savour the memories and do them justice.
Saturday morning was Evergreen Brickworks - a farmers' market in a lovely reclaimed urban site (quite similar to our friend Elena's work just outside Turin and thus more rural). It's where that fabulous foliage shot is taken - right to the east of the heart of Canada's largest city - well within city limits.
We saw lots of old faces, even though it was only our 2nd time there. There are only so many small-time farmers, I guess and we frequent our DG market most weeks. I was tempted by the roasted chestnuts but money and time ran out - and besides, it wasn't that chilly.
It was on to ballet for Seb and some gardening for Ms. S. I made some grilled veggie and chevre sandwiches, which we ate with glee on our patio, while late summer, drunken wasps swooped low and slow.
The afternoon was full of sports at the park and a library visit, enabling much bumping into neighbours who had not fled the city. It was topped off by further harvesting from our kitchen garden - a few more carrots, dozens of cherry tomatoes and enough basil and other herbs to feed the block. And we haven't even touched the grapes this year...
