Summer seems to be here

Today a little jog from Commercial Drive up to the wild of an unknown neighbourhood and back for a latte. Everything is beautiful when it's sunny.

So this blog started out as a posting of my daily travels - one photo per day. Well, I'm pretty much still taking a picture a day - or more, but I've been neglecting to post them. So here are a few from the last week.


A walk through east side:

A Sunday stroll

Italian Days: the sun is out, the throngs are making their way up and down the Drive to the back drop of a pretty good Volaré rendition.


Lurking in the back alleys, though, remains the Drive we know and love so well.

Friday

Still cold, but we went for a walk.

Early to bed

Babysitting has me pretty tired - though I haven't been babysitting a baby. I've been babysitting Echo. She's had a few lumps removed and her stitches need to stay in place. On top of that she's come down with some sort of canine gastric disorder, which requires frequent trips to the outdoors in the middle of the night. I'm so sleepy. I'm going to bed with a good book:

Altercation with a rose

Meddle with a rose at your peril - she'll take her claws to you and shred you.

Wisteria lane

Thanks to the housewives of Wisteria Lane, or some such, the wisteria has become associated with hysteria and soap opera goings on. But it's a beautiful vine and it smells as beautiful as it looks.
