I LOVE Sundays, after a late Sunday morning walk at Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver we stopped in at the West Van farmers market. My absolute favorite time at the local markets as we really are in the most abundant season. We picked up a variety of winter squash and sugar pie pumpkins as well as some decorative gourds, cabbage and brussels (since some strange tick like bug attacked ALL my brussel plants in my garden this fall), peaches and apples, brought in from the Okanagan, colorful swiss chard, peppers and beautiful heads of garlic.
