Weekend Reflections #29 ~ Double the pleasure

After the Easter Parade last weekend in the Beaches (Queen Street East) area  of Toronto I walked the Boardwalk as I headed back to the Scarborough Bluffs.

This was an interesting fence on a beach front home.

SkyWatch Friday ~ April Showers

As the saying goes..."April showers brings forth May flowers"....  

Two days of rain and it seems that everything has come alive...

buds are ready to burst open,

and some already have

and there is colour everywhere

even the dry brown of the weekend is beginning to green up.

As dusk drew nigh the clouds broke up

as a cold front advances

and promises to drop temperatures and bring s*?*!

SkyWatch Friday ~ A Good Friday

If I were not here to witness it, I would not believe the temperatures we are having this weekend (check 'em out on the side bar!).  The beautiful warm temperatures have brought blue skies.

I am finishing a housesit on the Scarborough Bluffs of Toronto overlooking Lake Ontario.

The backyard leads out to a beautiful ravine walk that leads to Cudia Park overlooking the Bluffs and Lake Ontario.

Signs of spring are beginning to show

and down at the Bluffs a robin stands sentinal against a blue sky and bluer lake.

The warmth has everyone out sunning...

This little guy was not happy to see us.

On the walk home through the neighbourhood we met this fella enjoying the greening grass....

and as I checked out the back yard crocus(?)

this little fella landed on my hand and stayed while I walked up the stairs to get my camera

to get some pictures of him!

A Klondike Mystery

Last spring I was invited to housesit for a Canadian mystery writer new to Prince Edward County, Ontario.  Vicki had responded to my housitting ad and I accepted the invitation.  I spent two months enjoying the people, history and environs of Prince Edward County and before I left Vicki gave me a signed copy of her latest book release "Gold Digger, A Klondike Mystery" a fast paced murder mystery set in  Dawson City of 1898 in Yukon Territory of Canada. 

If you enjoy mystery and history you will love this book and from what I have read, the follow-up, "Gold Fever, A Klondike Mystery" being released on April 1st should be just as thrilling. If you'd like a chance to win a copy of this book visit Vicki Delany's Blog and answer the question....you won't be disappointed!

Weekend Reflections ~ This time last year

I still maintain a soft spot for this beautiful part of Ontario.
