From inside High Park which is now closed until the cherry blossoms are done. They attract thousands of people to the park every year so the entire park is now blocked off to the public.1-AE59-D4-F-8140-469-F-800-D-467-A4-D3-E8-DD5

On the Hunt for Joy Challenge – Start a Garden

…thanks to Cee for hosting Hunt for Joy Challenge

This week’s theme is ‘Start a Garden’. It’s a little too early to start planting here but it was a great day to start prepping the garden. I pulled weeds, raked up dead leaves and plant material and started to turn the soil. We’ve had a fair bit of rain as of late so it made this job somewhat easier to do. I probably put two hours of work in the yard and I may regret it tomorrow. I’m already feeling it in my knees.

I did, however, discover that some plants are coming back on their own. My kale survived the winter and is thriving. Chives always reappear every year but I’m surprised that my container herbs, such as oregano, thyme, and  tarragon have also returned.ABDAFADE-7-EA2-432-E-AAF3-70-AE5-B02-D9-E4

Tops to Lost Bottoms

…thanks to Becky B for hosting this month’s Square Tops

A while back at the inn one of the staff members was cleaning out a cupboard and came across a dozen or more teapot lids without the pots that they normally cover. She asked the bread bakers if we had any use for them and two of us took some. I thought they might come in handy for an art project and I’ve used them once for a photography assignment. I might arrange them in shadow box with glass to keep them from gathering dust. Any other ideas out there?669-C8-E8-E-7913-4-F21-9-A04-52-CCEED741-CB-1-201-a
