Off to market we go!

Having a long weekend, Chris took me off for the last farmer's market of the year this morning.  One of the lovely things about living here in Calgary is that if we take the main road out from the house in 20 minutes we are in prairie country... the most beautiful scenery just sitting there waiting for you down the road, farms nestled into huge acreages with the Rockies as a backdrop.

I love the big Dutch style barns that sit alongside the farm houses, they are so pretty to look at.

and the occasional church... its definitely autumn here... the leaves are everywhere but on the trees!

so we got to the market nice and early and it was brrrrrr cold.... and the jacket I was wearing was not doing what it should, so Chris treated me to this with a hat and gloves to match!  The lady said it was good for -25 degrees but I am hoping I don't have to actually find that out!!

We found some lovely hand crafted items and managed to knock a few things off the Christmas present list.  I couldn't resist buying one of these for a friend....

So all that is needed to be said now is.... Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends, hope you have a lovely day.
