Today we managed to watch the CBS Sunday Morning show. We love that show and watching it has been part of our Sunday routine for decades. I have hooked up the Chromecast device and the Roku so we have the ability to use the TV here. With a ham and cheese omelet, we watched Jane Pauly and the crew. We also watched the highway where one entire side had been shutdown for a community bike ride. That reminded us of Paris when huge swaths of streets closed on Sunday. Lucky for us, we did not have to use that stretch of highway. The park was as entertaining as ever. Yoga and a Spike Ball game were new activities for today. Of course there were dogs everywhere to watch. We ventured out after lunch and purchased a Gerbera Daisey to put in the balcony planter. The planter was so empty and forlorn that Leslie could not take it anymore. She also planted some flower seeds, crossed fingers on those seeds, they were from Butchart Gardens and we don't know how old they are. We also stocked up on chocolate and other flowers. There is a plethora of alternate flower shops in this neighborhood. We have been trying to stop into each shop as we pass them, weeeeee this is a lot of fun! There is a series of pedestrian walkways that we are now trying out. We wandered down by the waterfront some more and then saw the weather moving in. One quick stop by Tim Horton's and we made it back before it started raining. It was some extreme weather with lightening and torrential downpours. Fun to watch from the dry interior space.
The east bound lanes were shut down to cars
But the westbound lanes were still operational
Definitely 100 riders or more
Yoga by the big canoe
Spike Ball is a game for four people and it involves the tiny trampoline in the center that the ball is spiked into and then played on the bounce
Dogs dogs dogs
Big Sculpture looking west, hmmmm some clouds rolling in from the west
We walked along a path and saw this giant mural
So empty and sad
Here comes the flowers
Gardening therapy
We gave the seeds a head start by soaking them in a wet paper towel
Now happy and fecund
A head the size of a cured ham!
These planters are a bit too big for us to plant
Along the waterfront it was very windy
We found another garden to explore
as well as free music to experience
Tim Horton sucked us in to buy some snacks
We got 10 tiny bits
Red sky at night..
Sailor's delight
That is if the Sailor is a duck! Torrential rains in Toronto
Rain slicked roads
My nightlight
It has been 50 days since we began our Migration.
