When we planned our 2024 summer vacation, we chose mid-June because, and I quote myself, “It won’t be *too* hot yet. Toronto becomes mostly unbearable in July and especially August!” It turns out that nature, as it so often does, intended to make a complete fool of me. We boarded a VIA Rail train on…

As I wrote yesterday, we had one more stop planned after our delicious lunch at Tea & Cake: the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum! It certainly doesn’t take much convincing for Kathleen and I to visit a museum: after all, we did meet at Carleton during a Masters’ program in history, where, as TAs, we shared…

One week after the snow dashed our plans, Kathleen and I were able to go on our little Hallmark Christmas Lesbian AdventureTM this Saturday! Although the wind made the temperatures feel quite cold, it all came on the heels of a bit of a warm spell. It even rained quite a bit to the end…

It turns out that this December, at least meteorologically speaking, is looking like a note-for-note repeat of last year’s. We’ve been quite snowy and cool for the last few weeks, that today’s bump in temperature (2C today and light rain) and forecast (high of 5C by Friday) threatens to take away our snowy blanket, leaving…

There’s no doubt about it! Kathleen and I are “no longer the tough and determined ladies of our [*ahem*] younger years.” We had plans yesterday. Plans like visiting the Christmas Market as Lansdowne, that would have seen us outside for a good part of the late morning. We pictured ourselves with a nice beverage, browsing…

Absent any real adventure plans this weekend, Kathleen and I took a slow walk to Bank to pick up some cat food and groceries. In addition to Hartman’s Massine’s, we stopped in at Herb & Spice, which neither of us had visited in some time, to see how their vegan products were doing. As one…

I will admit freely that I don’t really know how to identify “peak fall” most years. Depending on the weather leading up to the fall months, the leaves may turn colours at different times, leaving a real mish-mash ranging from July-grade green to wintry bare branches, all in the same yard. Still, last Sunday, while…

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…

It just seemed liked a tidy sort of mini-project. Well, project is just too strong a word. Even with the ‘mini-‘ qualifier. Really, it just seemed like a neat thing to do. With the same camera and lens, expose a roll of black-and-white (Tri-X), colour negative (Ultramax), and slide (Ektachrome E100).

Photos made while on a nice morning walk through Sandy Hill last Saturday morning. Since we didn’t end up making any adventure plans last weekend, this was just a little visit to a neighbourhood that we haven’t so often this year. Being a weekend morning, at least it wasn’t as busy as it was when…
