I took my client out to Welland Community Orchard & wheeled him around the community orchard park. He had never been there before & loved seeing everything there. It was a lovely post-lunch outing.

These are some of the purple flowering broccoli plants that we grow in our raised bed food gardens at the community orchard park.

I told my client the story of how one of my galpals is obsessed with stealing condiment packets from BC Ferries while aboard any BC ferry or inside their terminals. She mostly aims for the Coffee Mate packets but will also stuff her purse/pockets with other condiments & wood/plastic utensils too. Her reasoning is that we pay a lot of taxes & for ferry service fees, so taking extra condiments/utensils won't be hurting the corporation. When she first told me this personal fact, we were in our 30s, en route to Pender Island for a galpals retreat. When we got to her Grandma's cottage there - she dumps out all of her stolen BC Ferries condiments loot. It filled the kitchen table surface 🤣

My client laughed so hard - saying, I can almost picture that scene! Then, he tells me that he is also guilty of pocketing condiments packets from BC Ferries 😂 Telling me, they're useful for when you're traveling/camping & he also figured since we pay a lot for using the government owned ferries, those condiment packets belong to the people. We laughed some more. I admitted that, I'm also a free #condiments pocketer, on #BCFerries. We laughed again 😅

High seas, condiments pirates.
Kind of, but not really.
