Michael hates basketball, but he even watched the last two quarters. Hope you got some sleep ... my peace is being broken at 7:50am by a bloody lawn mower. Lawns should be banned.. they must have a huge carbon foot print ... water them, cut them, dump fertilizer on them, make thousands of commercials about them ... oh and make sure yours is better than your neighbours .. insane. i am going back to write now. I can hear a mower as I type this, but was already awake. One of the reasons I bought the house I did was because it has a very small yard. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it when people let their lawns grow wild. It's pretty. We have a lawn here. The landlords mow it maybe three times per summer or something. The bumblebees love the clover, the bunnies enjoy the dandelions, and there are wild strawberries down in the driveway. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had visions of sleeping through my alarm - I changed it from music to beeps for that very reason - but oddly, I woke up at 5:41 a.m. and 7:38 (my goal was 8:30) so go figure. As for the lawn mower running so early - I’m sure they were breaking a noise ordinance bylaw - that just isn’t right. Now, I did not have coffee before my appt. so I must take my leave as my eyes are aching and watering begging for their caffeine fix. It’s a beautiful day, so I hope you and Mike get out there and enjoy it. It’s a good day for a walk... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorn Wilde Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Hey, all! Hope you're well. Paul wanted to get out of the house so we went out for Indian street food at a place called Holy Cow. My eyes are bigger than my stomach... I only managed about half of what I ordered, lol! Now back home. Have been working on a short story I may post today, if I find it polished enough. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to do grocery shopping this morning too, but nothing as fun as a farmers market -- and I was missing one Item when I got home. I did, however, make a wonderful tasting lunch. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, I'll try and convince them of your solution for the front lawn at least, Mac. However, I am sure that will only cause me to be removed from their will.

Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted June 8, 2019 Site Moderator Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) @Mikiesboy @MichaelS36 I’m not sure how this article came to be on my google search, but it is quite interesting if you’re interested in what parts of Toronto (specifically Yonge Street) looked like in the 1800s to early 1900s. So far, I haven’t come across (I don’t think) a building that is still standing today. Too bad, because some of the architecture has a lot of character. https://torontoguardian.com/2017/04/vintage-yonge-street/ Edited June 8, 2019 by Reader1810 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use an app from Apple’s app store. I didn’t even think about websites. I looked at the site you’re using and except for the timer (I don’t find timers relaxing) it looks like a good one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
