Hot Lazy Dreamy Saturday


Happy Birthday Gayle!


Had a bit of a sleep in today.  It was one of those mornings where I woke up at my usual time & started to panic that my alarm didn't go off & that I'd be late for work. That was followed by a few moments of confusion.  Then I remembered what I'd done yesterday and that today was in fact, Saturday.

When I went back to sleep, I had many wonderful dreams.  I've always been a dreamer. I even dream of the same places more than once that exist nowhere but in my dreams.  I try to relay them to Adam as soon as I wake up before the dissipate.

If our bed wasn't so uncomfortable and I didn't have a Pug waiting to go outside, I would have been happy to dream away this Saturday.

I dragged my achy body out of bed, put Crockett's leash on him, grabbed a toonie for a cup of coffee and out we went.  It was hot with a warm wind.  Once I got my coffee at the corner shop, we went across the street into the Parkette and sat on a bench in the shade.

Here are our photos.

In a small tree right across the street from our apartment I heard a bird chirping.  It was a Mama Bird guarding her babies.  On our way home, Mama was gone & 2 little heads were poking out of the nest.  I didn't want to get too close.  I was so disappointed as I took 1 photo of them with their little beaks open waiting for food & when I looked back at the photo, I only got the bottom of the nest.





Crockett having a drink of water. There is a water fountain in the Parkette so I always grab 2 cups when I get my coffee from the corner shop.   He was such a patient sweet lovely dog this morning.  He just sat there & let me enjoy the sky.  His cough is also getting better so he doesn't sound like a honking goose on our walks.





This was the sky as it changed during our sit down on the bench.  Each taken about 4 minutes apart pointing straight up. There was a warm breeze and the sky was moving pretty fast.  I have all the confidence that tomorrow will be a beautiful sunny day as it always is every year for Toronto's amazing Pride Parade!








Happy Pride!!

I wish everyone a safe happy Canada Day long weekend.

I Don't Heart Toronto

The folks of Toronto in winter drive me bonkers.
Sure, I'm painting everyone with the same brush....whatever!
This is what everyone was talking about on the news last night
and was in the paper this morning:


It's Winter.
In Canada.
It's to be expected.
It shouldn't be STORM WARNING - ALERT - BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!

Really?
Toronto wonders why the rest of Canada thinks it's a city
full of whiners & wimps.


This was the sky as I stepped out of my office
this afternoon at 4:30pm.


This was the dry clear sidewalk as I took Crockett
out for a walk when I got home.


You want to see what cool people do in the winter?



They shovel their driveway and get on with it!
They plug their cars in at night.
Is this a great photo or what?
Real winter in Ottawa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this was Toronto, the city would be shut down.
