This morning it was 55' degrees when we got up & beautiful. We headed to the Farmers Market at 9am. It actually starts at 8:00 but not all the stalls are set up that early.
We found 2 presents for Shadow - one was a fur Minkie Mouse & the other was a stuffed tube - they both have catnip in them. Shadow loves them & can't stop playing with them. Great success! We told the vendor we would send her pictures from the blog - she especially wanted ones with Shadow playing with the toys.
Well, the mouse didn't last too long before Shadow had licked until it was wet, put its tail in his water bowl & bitten a hole through it so the cat nip was totally exposed. Needless to say that is now in the garbage - Shadow is drugged & has been napping for a long time. I emailed the seller to tell her what happened. She offered to send us a new (different) one. We sent her a pic of the demolished one & she loved it! She couldn't believe what it looked like - her comment was OMG how funny. She still wants to standbys a different one so I guess we'll let her do that.
We also got some olive bread, a couple of scones - both from a great bread vendor that is here every year - and 4 goat cheeses with 3 different toppings. We usually buy from both vendors. The goat cheese is handmade at Saltspring Island Cheese.
It got up to 75' today. We had 6:00 reservations at House Piccolo, our favorite restaurant here. We had martinis with olives (gin & vodka) & a bottle of Salt Spring Pino Gris for drinks. Rod had crab cakes for an appetizer & venison for dinner. I had baked goat cheese salad & lobster risotto. We shared ice cream with chocolate sauce for dessert. We visited with a couple from Kirkland who have a home here at dinner. It was very interesting to hear how they ended up here & they recommended our dessert.
