Tradition

We started a new tradition of going to High Park on Sunday. I should have taken more photos, the cherry blossoms are beautiful. Somehow I've never been to the park when they were blooming before.






How many men would read you Greek mythology in High Park?

One, that's how many.

Girl Guide Camp

What happens when 13 Sparks go to Girl Guide Camp, and 11 of them stay overnight for the first time?










You as an adult have an amazing weekend and a lot of goofy photos. Thank you ladies!

Easter

I totally forgot about the photos of Jayne's Birthday cake! Browned butter with Chocolate Cinnamon frosting. 



There's a funny story about Jayne not getting to eat this cake at her party, but I won't embarrass her here. I had a good time mostly because I got to see an old friend.

Easter is a dinner event in my family. My Uncle and his family came over and we dyed eggs and had a hunt. My mother made an amazing dinner I'm looking forward to having for lunch tomorrow. 










My mother was cleaning out her closet and made the mistake of putting all her sweaters on her bed and then walking away. Maggie thought they made a good nest. 





More quilting, but it's still not done just yet. I think I have to take out two of the panels and switch them. 


My grandmother's tea set has been sitting in the basement and it was so nice out, I decided to just polish it already. 



It's so nice to be able to live in a time where I can talk to someone who is on the other side of the world face to face. There's nothing quite like catching up with someone you miss.

Niagara

My Mother and I went to Niagara-on-the-Lake for Friday night.  It was lovely to get away. We saw lots of chocolate, some Snowdrops in bloom, had a lovely afternoon tea at the Prince of Wales, some beautiful Irish sweaters, and saw Cabaret at the Shaw Festival.

Is it April?

















That snow on the ground is very deceiving. I thought it might still be winter. You sure had be fooled Spring. 
Sparks, and little cousins and Maggie. Morghan's birthday was last weekend, so I made her a little embroidery kit in a tin. And she even used it when I was there! I'm very proud of her. Julia is a total goof. 

Nice to see some green, even if it is old and not new.
