Mild again last night just above freezing and that is just wonderful. And we got to enjoy a nice sunrise through the bush again. Gonna be an awesome day.

| right outside our living room window |
 |
| what a nice way to start the day |
Made an early quick trip to Plattsville Home Hardware to fill our RO water jug, back home by 8:30. Then Suzie and I took off to the
St, Jacobs Farmer's Market open year round. This has to be our number one favourite market to visit and we have been to a lot ! The weather was perfect compared to what we have been having. Everything there is pretty much in full swing outside vendors and of course all the inside ones as well. We like to get there fairly early and out of there before the large crowds arrive after 10:30 am.
 |
| this the large main building |
 |
| checked out some outside vendors, nothing we needed here today |
 |
| some very good prices |
 |
| $3.50 a basket |
Then 1st stop inside was to Hilltop Acres Poultry products for a couple of pounds of this wonderful Turkey Garlic sausage we love. They welcomed us back.
 |
| poultry everything here |
 |
| we bought 2 lbs of turkey garlic sausage |
 |
| across from them a nice meat counter |
This one below we picked up some peameal Bacon and fresh schnitzel, both are excellent.

There is many more meat counters and cheeses, plus various different food vendors as well. So many choices!
Out of the building next is Pedlars village, more food vendors, and just about anything you can thing of here.
 |
| a new kiddie ride this year |
 |
| the kids love this too |
 |
| lots to see here |
This vendor below was our main reason to visit Pedlars village. This couple have been here for years I used to work with her husband at MTD products back in the '80's. He was a QC inspector.
 |
| 2 cornish pasties here, we bought 4 2 meals |
 |
| The cornish pasties we just love too, so got 4= 2 meals. |
Then back outside an adult ride this guy rode Roger the Bull for a bit then got thrown off, not hurt of course. It became a wild ride!

That was our quick tour of the market could have spent hours, but we got what we wanted here and made our way back home. A few more stops, Canadian tire, 2 Walmarts and a Sobey's grocery store then home for lunch at noon.
After lunch Suzie took the car to Woodstock to get some yarn that she wants for SIL, Sandy to make her a nice custom blanket like the one she loaned us.
While Suzie was gone I puttered around outside on this wonderful sunny afternoon and amazing 56F (13C) attempting to divert the water puddles down beside our coach and around the shed and away.

Suzie back home by 3:30 got her yarn and a new shirt that she was looking for. Missed going to a grandson number 3's hockey game this afternoon in Cambridge but looking forward to one tonight in Ayr Ontario.
Was soon time for supper so I whipped up a salad and with so many choices now, Suzie decided tonight we need to enjoy a couple of these very tasty
Cornish Pasty's . We like them with a bit of gravy so I made some up and, oh my, these were excellent!
 |
some tasty gravy sure hit the spot
love these Pasty's |
Dishes done and relax a bit more then made our way to Ayr for Grandson number 1's, 4 on 4 hockey game, first one we can enjoy this year. And enjoy it we did Was sure nice to see him play again. He sure is growing up and they all had a fun time there out on the ice. They played very well and defeated the other team by quite a lead. Nice to see more of the family and especially Gand daughter #3 again twice in one week is a real treat!
 |
| they are ready for their shift |
 |
| here we are enjoying the game |
 |
| lots of action in the ice |
 |
| they are cleaning up |
 |
then of course a happy smile from a
happy Granddaughter |
After the game we hung out to see him once again and say so long for now and how much we enjoyed the game, before heading back home for the night. Did manage to catch a bit of the sunset on the drive back. A perfect ending to a perfect day.

| just used it by minutes |
