So the City of Toronto IS having a strike with the Local CUPE Union 79. Fortunately we had a garbage strike before so this time around, we know where to dump the garbage. But it still stinks. As of today, the strike is still "on"...no end in sight yet.

Jessica has to stay home after her little surgery(it went pretty well), so we crashed at her house last Saturday to check out her new backyard, help install new locks, and do some baking(but Jess can't eat any,aw).

 

 

Helped Jess with her landscaping project yesterday. It was a good day to be out, glad the summer weather is not getting too hot yet.


Jess is planning to put in stones for the flooring, so this is how it looks before they are put in. Look at all the grass that was taken out, not is just to find a place to dump it.


Took some random pictures.


If you zoom in at the wasp, you can see it drinking the nectar! COOL


Last week I was coughing. Tried a new drink at FMP, dried prunes with green tea...pretty good.



Took random pictures during the week...all were in the car...before bird poo got on it.


gas getting costly...


The airplane was flying low cause of the storm clouds, the second one was taking off, if you zoom in close, can see the details, very cool.


We turned on our grill and BBQ-ed today...YAY! (click on the photo for more pictures)

Biked over to the park today to see if I can find some ducklings.


found them! swimming single filed...so cute.

mother crosses first, then the whole gang.

father drinks from the lake....ducklings...

an injured bird...and ducks hiding in the bush.

Mother+daughter...father+son...the kid was dragging that pile of green leaf around...don't know why

There was a dog walker...and naturally they geese ran away cause they were scared.

Dead body! The gold fish was about the size of my hand, pretty big, I was surprised.

Then went to fix the leaking tire. Apparently IS a hole and a crack, at the side of the tire. So we have to change it, ended up changing all four tires after 5 years of usage, not bad.

Then try to go play tennis before it rained...

A helicopter kept hoovering around the sky when we were at the courts, pretty loud, searching for something...Jess' very PINK bottle.

picking up the balls...oh i think they found a dead worm, practicing on some serves, couldn't catch the ball, you threw it up really high Jess.

Storm is coming....

Then, cause the rain is here, late dinner at Saigon Star(Vietnamese food), the crab was good, done just perfectly and not over cooked.

It's May, Tennis season started.


On our way to the tennis courts, saw a nice M3, and nice sunset.


Desserts after.

Went to play tennis today. Boy I need to run more. Then went to see if there are basketball court behind Goldhawk...and there is. Cooked dinner tonight.

There will be 3 hours of no power in our area tomorrow , at least they warned us ahead of time.
