Rosewood Farm is a vendor at the Sun Peaks Farmers Market. This was our third year at the market and we extend our visits twice monthly during the winter season. There are also a number of extra markets particularly close to Thanksgiving and Christmas. The market is held in the village square which is a cozy walkway between village hotels, shops and restaurants. People stroll leisurely along and stop to chat with neighbours or visitors from the other side of the world. Children run and play along the walkway while dogs stop to sniff, bark or lead their owners along.

Today (September 4th) was an almost perfect day with a deep blue ski between the mountain peaks and to add to the day we had a great band. The band is made up of three members. The keyboard player is the husband of the baker that is the next vendor to us. The other two members sing and they really can sing. The two men are originally from Czechoslovakia (they are old enough that the country was still considered one). Some of their music is European; some is ABBA, some Cash, some Creedence Clearwater Revival and some others. They entertained us for three continuous hours with no breaks. No doubt Hypnotic Blend will be at our market again

Oh, Rosewood, that was a very nice picture you painted, for our mind's eye. You took me right there, listening to that little band of gentlemen, as I sat beside you whilst you sold your goods. Hope that you had some nice sales of your products. That sounded like it was a very relaxing day, mingling with folk and just enjoying the beauty of what this world gives to us. We have had beautiful weather too. Thank you for sharing, it was a lovely read. Have that beautiful day, CynthiaM.

The band consists of two men and a lady who has a voice like Olivia Newton John. This was the second time they performed for the market, but the lady was ill for the first time.

Hold that moment in your mind and ponder it when upcoming winter moments are anything but perfect and cheerful. It's like a mental pill against gloominess. Hope for more such moments before the snow flies.

There are times on the mountain in the winter that are beautiful and there are times when the weather makes it difficult to get back home. We had one day where the snow would freeze on the wipers in such a manner that they were useless. Those of you close by should come up and spend the day at our market. There is lots to see and do there.
