Where we live is mostly rural. Our little village is between the built up area of neighboring Newmarket and the humungous growing centre of the Holland Marsh. It was once said that the world's supply of carrots and onions were grown here but over the last decade that has changed with the needs of different ethnic communities and the various vegetables that go into their dishes. Now there are Asian vegetables growing out there as well as Indian vegetables. It is a feast for the eyes and mouth.
The other morning at the intersection my husband I noticed what looked like smoke but it was over the Marsh and we knew that it was because the air in the mornings are cool but the earth is still very warm and the air In between can appear smoky or foggy. The farmers are busy harvesting the crops and getting them to market. Here a tractor with the large crates going to the processing plant nearby.
I really feel blessed to be living where the city meets the country. There is so much going on. As a side note this intersection will be gone in a few months and a new one built to accommodate the new roads being built.
