Another grey Sunday, will Summer ever come?

I can't believe that we have had five markets now, and not one of them has been a lovely sunny summer type day.  Today was another grey day, and we had rain as well.  There has been rain on three out of five markets.  Not a good average, let's hope it will improve.

But, like good wet west coasters, most people came prepared for the rain, and umbrella popped up like mushrooms.

Despite the weather, the sales were pretty brisk for us, and it's always nice when all the produce is gone by the end of the day. 

The entertainment was great, and lots of people stood around listening to them, despite the weather.

Here's the dogs of the week.  Not sure if they had been for a swim somewhere, as they were wetter than could be accounted for by the rain at that point.  I think they are Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens.  Not a breed of dog you see very often.

Our dogs were pretty happy today, as they got a visit from their favourite customer.

Joy is a feisty English lady, and she loves animals.  So every time she comes to the market, she visits Zodies Barkery, and buys them each a good sized biscuit.  She also buys a bag of little ones for her neighbours dogs as well.

Joy was thrilled last Christmas when I send her a Merry Christmas wish, and included a picture of the dogs decked in Christmas stuff and laying under the Christmas tree.  She printed it out and stuck it on her fridge.  And then she did the same when I updated it with a more seasonal one in the spring. 

Anyway, this is the first time this year that Joy and the dogs have been at the same market.  I think she was a little disappointed that the dogs didn't recognize her voice as she was chatting to Duncan when she was buying the treats, but they came over pretty quick when they saw her and she started talking to Larry.

Here's one for you Jake

They all lined up so nicely in front of her that after she had given them the ones she had bought for them, she broke down and opened the bag of 'training treats' that she had bought for her neighbour's little dogs

What spoiled dogs! 

I think she fed them half the bag.

And once again, at the end of the day, we packed up a lot of wet stuff into the truck that will have to be brought out and opened up to dry tomorrow.
