  • Speaking of the awful heat, we learned a valuable lesson while on our walk from Yonge to the Farm: as beautifully green as Cabbagetown is, it did not escape our notice that the further east we walked, the more humid it became. The plant life was pleased as punch, but, well, I’ll just say that…

  • On our first full day in the city, heat dome intensifying, we decided that our first goal for the day was to visit the Riverdale Farm! Neither of us had ever been, but I had heard about it many times growing up and, of course, it didn’t escape us that there were at least a…

  • Photos from a Friday afternoon kitty food mission, on this day, one year ago. I remember it being a little chilly, but nothing like this year’s transition from summer to fall to winter. Brr.

  • On Saturday, Kathleen and I decided on a little bit of a traditional adventure for ourselves. Kathleen is working on a few small sewing projects – including some hair scrunchies with a hidden compartment in a decorative bow and backpack repairs – so we decided to head to Fabrications, a most lovely fabric store at…

  • Of course it’s not really surprising that we were in a walking mood. Queen West (and most of East, for that matter) is quite visually interesting and there are many interesting shops and, perhaps save for the Somerset West-Wellington-Richmond corridor, nothing really like it here. So we continued to walk, chatter, laugh, make photos, stop…

  • There is plenty of Queen West to make photographs of! No matter how many times we walk down, there are little scenes that catch my eye and photos to be made.

  • On Tuesday, Kathleen and I had two main things we wanted to do. The first was an appointment at the Bite Lip Lab on Queen West. One of Kathleen’s favourite lipstick shades was Radish, part of one of Bite’s older collections, since discontinued, and a visit to the Lib Lab was the best way to…
