Saturday was a GORGEOUS day. Warm and sunny with a great breeze. Absoulutely perfect shorts weather. Stacy suggested that we head down to the lake for a stroll. We did take the stroll, but we stumbled upon Floriade on our way. It is advertised as "The Southern Hemisphere's Largest Flower Festival", but it was really much like the summer festivals at home. There were craft and jewellery vendors, food stands and buskers. There were also flower displays- this year's theme is "Movies that Shaped our Nation". They were nice, but nothing spectacular. Stacy and I toured the vendors and got ourselves some fudge (YUM!). We also painted a gnome for the gnome painting contest- but more on that in a later post. It turned out to be a nice little Saturday.

Pretty flowers! There aren't many flowers here anymore, and all the leaves are starting to change. I miss spring. :)
Purty flowers :) The leaves are changing here too, but the flowers are still blooming... And it was 23 degrees today, and we've only had one day of rain so far this month! Vancouver sure is a nice place to live (and to visit). Have I convinced you to come yet?
