The love of flowers in the Month of Love

(Pegann was a wonderful woman
who used to sell flowers at the
Brickworks Market in Toronto.
We haven't seen her for a
few years.  I hope she's well.)

One of our longstanding ways to spend late Saturday morning, is to go to the
Brickworks Market in Toronto.  Our favourite farmer, who we buy eggs,
quiche, baked goods, the most delicious pies I've ever eaten in my whole
life and flowers from (in season) takes our order online, and then gives it to
us with a big smile on our arrival.

He is away now until mid-March, so that habit is not happening.  Pegann,
who sold beautiful flowers quit coming to the Brickworks market a number
of years ago, and we miss her. 

But in The Month of Love I want to honour everyone who makes our lives
happy.  Jens and Ayse from Marvellous Edibles Farm are wonderful, and 
we look forward so much to seeing Jens again at the market.

Flowers, as I have told my friends, are one of my addictions. (The other
two are coffee and love.)

Have a loving your life day.
