To Market To Market


When we were in Ottawa on Saturday visiting our family, we were very lucky to spend some time in the ByWard Market area.  I did not eat any of the desserts in the case, but my husband did have a black forest cake danish.


Inside the building are lots of tiny restaurants and I wish a camera could capture the delicious meals being cooked.


 I do love the tiny town we live in. but boy would I love to have a market like this one near by!  I think you could do all of your grocery shopping and get the freshest ingredients!


I thought the prices were quite reasonable and again the quality of the produce was fantastic!




The fish shop reminded me of the shore and our summer vacation at Cape May, NJ.


Are you lucky to have a market like this one where you live?  And more importantly do you shop there?

    I can only dream of having a market like that! How much fun it would be to stroll the isles every morning picking out the freshest produce for the nights dinner! There are times when I wish I lived closer to a town! xx

    Oh that is awesome! I would love to have a market to shop at like that one! We have a farmer's market in our town. I totally believe in paying a fair price for food, but $6/lb for tomatoes is pushing it for me. Lucky ducks the folks who have that market!

    What a lovely market. We had a similar one in Vienna, now we have a very nice farmer's market, but it does not have all the goodies that are in your pictures.

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
