We are very grateful for our market friends

A very fun visit to the market today where Jens Eller the owner of
Marvellous Edibles Farm took home my painting Flowers in
Light
, while we took home a delicious cherry pie, and a blueberry
pie (our favourites of all of their delicious pies), a quiche and 
beautiful flowers -- oh and organic lettuce.

Jens and his wife Ayse were chefs in Europe, and anything they bake
is beyond delicious. So we are more than prepped for the Thanksgiving
dinner, and Steven is going to make pumpkin pie (an absolute 
requirement in our family.)

I've been influenced by the work of Mitchell Johnson to look at my work
and see it in new ways.  So I suggested Jens hold the painting upside
down for the photo, because it actually looked better that way.  He
laughed and cooperated.

For more market fun check out my Instagram stories to see the two
young men who brought their very calm cats to the market.  Funny. 

Wishing you an amazing Canadian Thanksgiving weekend.

Have a loving your life day.
