It was another gorgeous day at the City Market. One of those days when summer seems like it could go on forever, and makes you forget that warm breezes and patio nights are coming to a rapid end. Until that happens, I will be more than happy to revel in the sunshine along with other [...]

Apologies for the late post, but after a full day of Fringing, I was too pooped to blog last night. After a rocket-fast trip through the City Market Saturday morning, we caught a bus and just made it to our first of three shows yesterday. Market square Still, I’m glad we made it to the [...]

I’m still in denial that it’s already halfway through August, but with the summer we’ve had, I guess it’s inevitable that beautiful weather seems to speed up time somehow. All we can do is enjoy it! It was another glorious day at the City Market today And some would say, perfect for hopscotch! We still [...]

Were you awoken by the wicked storm last night too? There was so much water accumulating on 104 Street I was sure the City Market vendors would be setting up knee-deep in puddles. But the weather ended up surprising us, and the sun was actually out when we finally got up this morning. The bad [...]

Though I love visiting farmers’ markets while travelling, it’s always a bit frustrating because I’m never able to partake in the produce. I ended up browsing two different markets while in Toronto last week, and though their growing season is a bit further along than ours (corn was already available), it was nice to come [...]

Hallelujah, sunshine at the City Market! It was great to see large crowds again gracing 104 Street. Market sun seekers Mack and I wouldn’t be stocking up on much produce because of our travels next week, so treated ourselves to a late start. I know we probably missed out on a lot (the peas at [...]

I thought I had popped down to the City Market at an opportune time this morning, finding a fortuitous break in the clouds. Well, it lasted all of several minutes, then the rain returned. More grey That seems to be the norm so far this year – I can only hope things get better from [...]

Mack and I weren’t sure we’d even get to the City Market today, as it was moving day for two of our friends. As we should have expected though, many hands make light work, so we were finished loading and unloading by the early afternoon! We made it back before closing, but it was clear [...]

It was another overcast day at the City Market on Saturday. Thankfully, the rain wasn’t coming down in sheets quite like last week, so for the most part, it was still a pleasant visit. Almost dry again We were tuckered out from What the Truck?! the night prior, so gave ourselves the morning to sleep [...]

Oh, it was a miserable day at the City Market on Saturday. The rain was spiteful, coming down hard that morning. Rain, rain go away Jill had joined me, and probably regretted doing so when it became clear a poncho, wellies and waterproof shopping bags would be necessary. Still, she kept me in good spirits [...]
