Tulips in Toronto


As you can imagine, I get so crazy busy in the Spring and I was completely remiss in not sharing this story with you. I hope you can forgive me and go there yourself next year.

Back in May I was driving along Old Forest Hill Rd. and nearly caused a traffic accident (and nearly gave Ozzy whip lash). After I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't dreaming, I fell completely in love. I would personally like to thank the lovely people who created (and paid for) such a gorgeous Spring display of colour. Without further ado.....Here are the pictures I took that day.

It is just west of Spadina on Old Forest Hill Rd. Enjoy for next year!

I don't think that this would be a personal blog if I wasn't going allll the way and adding something personal. One of my customers, and you know who you are, gushed to me about a cheeky plain British singer named Susan Boyle. Yes, I know I know I know enough about Suan Boyle. But have you really heard her sing? I can honestly say this with out any shame. I have listened to this video about 20 times and I still get goose bumps. I don't love everything that she sings but I have to say that she nails this song. GO ON have a listen. This is for you :)
