Tulips on Madison Avenue

One of my favorite things about Vancouver is the almost year-round farmers markets. I try to go every Saturday and that's where I get the majority of my local produce. If it grows here this time of year, I get it there. I know some people that are very diligent about the eating local thing. I support the cause, but I love avocados, bananas, and mangoes too much and we're spoiled by being able to get asparagus, berries, and tomatoes almost year-round in the grocery stores, so I'm not very strict about it. Though it sure is a nice feeling to know I'm supporting local farmers when I do.

This past Saturday I just couldn't resist these local, fresh cut tulips. They are adorably blooming on my dining room table, acting as little glimmers of hope for the spring that is on the horizon. The weather has been gorgeous lately and its only just the beginning of March! Then the flowers inspired me to paint my nails this beautiful almost cotton-candy like color by Essie "Madison Ave-hue" I never paint my nails, but it was so fun! I put on 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' and had a single lady day in - just me and my pug. Happy Spring everyone!
