Thinking about the market

One of our happy habits as a couple is going to the Brickworks market on the
weekend.  I'm working on a flower painting now, based on a magnificent 
bouquet from the farmers we order from every weekend when we're home.
It is complicated, but a treat to work on.  So soon I'll be able to show you.

This painting is based on flowers from Pegann -- a woman who used to sell
at the market. I'm grateful that the Marvellous Edibles farmers now sell
flowers, because market flowers are fresh and magnificent.

It has rained like crazy today, which is good.  It was a dry summer. But
nothing compared to the Maritime drought, so I hope some of this rain 
is going over to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

Have a loving your life day!
