Market Time

It is, or was, Saturday and another market day. Beginning with two major cultural past-times: A quick breakfast at McDonald’s . . . .


. . . . . and the all important visit to the Canadian tradition of the Weather Channel.


At the market, the live version of the Weather Channel was pouring down.


But the French Fries were did not get soggy until a selection of one of the 6 types of designer vinegars were applied.

The famous “Trail’s End” Farmer’s market just east of London, Ontario was in full-swing. A section at the back sells miscellaneous chicken’s and ducks – either as children’s pets . . .


. . . . or as short-term visitors to local Vietnamese restaurants.

Food and faith have gone together for a very long time, as shown in this prayer posted above Gerber’s Meats – a Mennonite family’s station in the market.



Elsewhere, a church offers free books to shoppers needing spiritual support.


And apples have been welcomed out from the cold to cook up intrigues in the kitchen’s of the unsuspecting.
