Lemon Mint Water

Although I didn't plant or tend to my garden this year, my spearmint and lemon balm mint came back in full force!!  I do wish the basil had the same resistance to -35 'C.  Anyways although it is in full bloom...I'm sure my complete neglect has not helped this issue!..I grabbed enough for us to have a fresh pool side Lemon Mint Water!!!  So refreshing...next time I think I may add fresh ginger, so a little flare!  Or possibly some Raspberry Stoli ;-))

Lynne's Granola Bars

This is Ted's favourite from the farmers market, little bars of delight.  Ted likes the white chocolate ones...I personally, am not a fan of chocolate, so I love the tartness of the cranberry.  Lynne's Granola Bars, is based out of Vernon, BC. And what better to wash it down with then a cold glass of frothy milk.

Kelowna Farmer's Market

This morning after meetings, I headed to search for fresh produce for dinner tonight.  I have been so busy that I have not made it to the Kelowna Farmer's Market, a tradition the girls and I hit almost every Saturday!!  We would go through and all pick our favourites, Taeya would pick red plump beets, Paige would look for sweet baby ('cause they are small like me mommy') carrots and I would pick up onions, leeks, bok choy, and spinach...all the ingredients they girls don't like...if they know they are in a dish ;-))  Oh and the Basil...we did not plant our garden this year, so I did have my personal abundance of it, and I have to purchase it this year..as I absolutely love it.

Then of course there are the peaches!!...However, they were all sold out today, I will try again next Saturday, I'm craving fresh peach pie.

There are always plenty of fresh farm flowers, that smell heavenly, I took a few photos, and I'm sorry I'm not sure of the vender so I will check next Saturday and update this post...to give credit where it is due!

After I got home, I hauled out the rustic onion dryer that my MIL gave me, to show off all of my colourful purchases, placed my extremely fragrant basil in one of my chalk wine glasses from Pier1  note glasses, and then headed into to make a farm fresh salad for lunch.

When Paige spotted the tutu, she couldn't wait to go dance in the field! Twirl in the sun, with her bathing suit on.  I love when she bent over to pick a flower....it was just to priceless!   Thank-you Aunty Jes for the beautiful tutu and all the fun!

Ty in the Tutu!

Ty wanted to play with the new tutu too!  So Jes tied it on and he twirled around like a 'lirina'.  He is so full of fun and laughter, I loved having him for a few hours of fun with 'Aunty'.

Ty's Ed Hardy

Here is Ty, on my new trike, hanging out in the fields in his Ed Hardy gear!!!  I love the blue but wanted a few of them to have a more vintage feel with the sepia!  Enjoy

Tutus and Pearls

My girlfriend made me this beautiful butter cream and white tutu for photo shoots.  She will be selling them as well, they are so cute and adjustable in sizes.  I purchased this beautiful pearl necklaces to go with the shoot.  Unfortunately it was extremely sunny, without shade in site, when I tried to get a few shots (in 1 minute) of her beautiful Ella in it.

The back alley

Our final photo shoot of the day was in a back alley, I wanted to have a dramatic background for Megan's flirty shirt.  Hope you have all enjoyed our day of photos!
