autumn, in all its blazing heat and humidity…
running around to ship off the first of our fall 07 orders on friday and it was absolutely blazing hot! it felt like the hottest part of summer … it reached 33 degrees celsius (91 degrees fahrenheit), but with the humidity they were saying it was 40 C (104 F)!
i love that sort of heat. we were ‘perspiring’ just standing around!
then today (sunday), it was cool and fresh, and i could feel that moist, damp autumn feel … like at any moment it would open up and rain and not stop for a full month. a month-long deluge is what i was imagining, but instead the clouds blew over, the sun came out and it was 24 C (75 F) again! ahhh, life is good.
and in fact, life is good. i couldn’t help but thinking this as i walked to le marché jean talon this morning (when it was still fresh and cool) … changing leaves, that ‘back to school’ feeling everywhere you turn, and a sneaking suspicion that any day now we’ll all be hunkering down for the winter (watching movies in organic pajamas, and watching the snow fall!).
maybe it was just the excitement of the market that had me lovin’ life … i love the jean talon market, and being surrounded by all that vegetable productivity! the only sad part of the market is that most of the stuff is not organic … there are only a handful of producers we can actually buy from, but we like the look and feel of all that food in one place … and all the people! (and to be fair: they do have a pretty decent organic selection … ).
random thoughts before sleep …
night!
