Spring is coming
On Saturday, me, Heather, and Patrick went to Haymarket, an amazing farmer's market, with lots of delicious fruits/vegetables and cheap prices.
Most of the people running the stands were very nice. But after taking this picture, the guy tried to charge me $1 for taking it.
After the crowds of Haymarket got to be too much, we walked around on the beautiful pre-Spring day. We met a very nice guy on a bench, and we all soon befriended him.
It was mid-March, the day was beautiful, and I could not have been happier because winter is almost over, and spring is coming!

Where did they get all these summer vegetables from? Hmmm... fishy, fishy. You march right back in there and tell them that just because they sell veggies from a stall and call the place a "farmer's market" that doesn't excuse the environmental cost of trucking (or flying, in the case of the more perishible stuff) wax covered veggies from Florida and California harvested by workers who are practically indentured servants just 'cause we seem to feel its our right to have peppers in the winter.
Phew. Breathe out. Life's not fun when you know stuff like this.
Great pictures by the way; ready for the Canadian air en route for this weekend?
