Hello from Sunday night

Oh happy days when the morning shows a little sunshine reflecting on the city across my straight.IMG_0759 copy copyThe morning that starts with coastal sunshine has a chance of spreading inland into the country.IMG_0625 copy copySo C and I followed the river out to the country for a good breather from the work week.riverIMG_0629 copy copyWe had the best mooch around exquisite little boutiques.IMG_0737 copy copyWe tested organic lotions,IMG_0726 copy copySaw the best witch's hats resting on porches.IMG_0688 copy copyFound our reflections in vintage mirrors,IMG_0686 copy copyAnd gazed into crystal balls.IMG_0685 copy copyIMG_0678 copy copyIMG_0676 copy copyshoppingSaturday we went to the hockey game. (Canadian, remember :D ) We went to support Bryson, he's the linesman in the Wolf Pack games. This game was so heated that at one point two Wolf Pack players and three of the visiting players were in the penalty boxes! Boys...eh? (that's Bryson in the plain striped shirt)IMG_0791 copy copySunday was a quick trip to the market for some fresh veggies.IMG_0801 copy copyIt may have been the wrong time to go to the market because there were millions of little children in various Halloween costumes and we guessed it may have been a special Halloween happening.But there was this man blowing gigantic bubbles, and that was a treat for us as much as for the little guys.Also, there were wonderful flowers for sale. Well, not flowers actually, but these amazing grass seed heads.market1I also found what I think is the eucalyptus my new friend Melinda uses to get orange eco prints, and this beautiful green sweet William blossom. (but just look to the price per stem!)I was watching my favourite show, Gardeners World, and saw Rachel de Thame, one of the presenters, show off her cut flower beds. That's the answer! Plant a cut flower bed with all the exquisite blooms. :Dmarket2So, now it's evening and I'm at home and a little late evening sun is playing on my walls and making my paintings glow.I love it when the sun shines. :D Hope your weekend was sunny and lovely.homeSharing with Judith and the mosaic bunch.
