Saturday was amazing here, almost 70 degrees and blue skies. We wandered about the Saturday farmer's market for quite a while, there is a park there that the kids like. We left with two dozen glorious fresh farm eggs, two big bunches of morning cut asparagus, and the most amazing bouquet of daffodil, tulip, and narcissus, and something small and purple I don't know the name of.
Quite a good haul I think, the eggs being my favourite, there is something so amazingly lovely about fresh, brown, softly speckled, farm eggs. I love the look of them and the smooth feel of the shells they are almost too pretty to break.
The bouquet is of course wonderful, the children love to watch the people at the market building the bouquets and cutting all of the stems, they do it all with such precision and agility. The flowers were almost too big for my largest vase and so fresh and spring smelling. By far the best $10 I've ever spent on flowers.
There is this wall in our living/dining/kitchen area that we have been changing the colour of with the seasons for a few years now and this spring is no different. The kids and I made the trek to local paint store and came out with this bright turquoisey colour, it was Finnley's pick. The colour brightened our living space from the warm, dark, velvety purple that is now hidden and transformed our home from warm place to hide from the rain to an open airy space we pass through in the warm months.
Last but not least I was messing about with my camera, which I am still learning about and managed to take this shot of Finnley and am in love with it. I think I may have to print this one out and hang it up, I love it that much. Some day I hope my children appreciate the masses of pictures I take of them.
