Lazy Saturdays

Saturdays with nothing scheduled are the best days! There's no stress, life moves slowly, and it is easy to be aware of the moment. Terri likes to go to the Burnaby Farmers Market Saturday mornings. I thought she was a bit silly today - going to an outdoor market in the rain. But, she said she had the best time. There weren't many people there (imagine that...), so Terri said she got to spend a lot of time chatting with the vendors. She met Ildiko who makes beautiful silver jewelry. She even has a piece she has called "The Terri". Terri says she might have to buy that one since it's got such a great name. I don't think there is a piece called "The Joe". I'll have to talk to Ildiko about that.

Terri also met a fellow from Fern Alley Market Garden in Squamish. They grow micro greens. She bought a bag of the spicy mix. The fellow showed Terri all the different types of greens in the bag and let her try them. He explained how they grow the greens and talked about all the other greens that will be coming later in the season.

The other place Terri spent a lot of time at was Sweet Delights chatting with the baker and her husband. They make vegan cakes, cookies, and other treats.

After hearing about all the people Terri met, I was kinda sad I didn't go. I did get to try all the different goodies she brought home though - the spicy salad mix, vegan Nanaimo bars, and garlic crisps. The best part was I got to sleep in until Terri came home in the afternoon! Don't tell her though...

Run hard, be strong, have fun.
