Had some fun and good news, or at least progress, this week. First up was the annual trip to Stratford. Very scenic and pretty setting. Gentle cultural vibe. World-class theatre --- in this case the uplifting musical Billy Elliot. An amazing 11-year old dancing and singing and acting --- what were you doing at that age?? (I was catching frogs and drooling over '57 BelAirs...). But driving off there was a major fire to bring us back to reality.
On to Toronto where the Beach is as inviting as ever. The Gardener can't resist tidying up a tree, even if it's not hers. And the corner grocery is getting a new mural reflecting local charm.
But the Main Event was the final grinding of the stump. At last, after weeks of delay. They should have sent this guy and this more powerful machine in the first place. Anti-climax, but now on to the next stage --- re-grading and re-surfacing. Stay tuned, it'll be into August.
Had to get a new sunshade on the deck now that summer is upon us. This is at least the third version; the others have been overcome by wind, rain, or flimsy. Looks good so far --- what's that guy digging into??
Flying critters and furry critters are feasting and multiplying, especially grackles and squirrels. The pond has new lilies, tadpoles, and tiny new fish. Pat picks fresh lettuce most days, and the gardens are thick. Grateful times ---everything's coming up roses.
