Santa Paws

Picking up where I left off yesterday with the Christmas farmers market, here we have some treats.


One of the regular vendors has a deer farm and sells meat. This time of year there are a few additional items around, such as these stockings hanging on antlers.


They also do some thematic sculptures for the season with wood, like reindeer and lanterns.


Maple syrup: proof that God loves Canadians most of all and wants us to be happy.


The deer farm also had these at the other end of their section, nativity scenes that I liked.


A group of singers were singing Christmas carols.


Here we have two more of the dogs that I came across during this visit.


The wares of other artisans caught my eye. Over the next couple of days my online time will be rather limited, but I have posts scheduled, and I'll catch up as time allows.

  2. I am quite sure that people who live in hot climates cannot appreciate the joy of fresh pancakes hot off the griddle, slathered in maple syrup, on a cold morning. We used to make “tire” in the snow when I lived in Québec. Have you ever done that?

  17. I would enjoy this market very much. Fun times. I wonder if the meat farmer sells a lot of venison. I haven't had any since about 1972! Didn't like it much. I would like your maple syrup, though!
