This was the scene at Christie Pits Park on the same day as I took the pic in yesterday's post. It seemed like everyone had come out to enjoy the first really warm day!
The first beer enjoyed outside for this summer season was Omnipollo, a Swedish IPA with strong citrus flavouring. It won't be the last one of these - it was good. We finally got nice warm weather last week and all of the patios were open and doing great business.

This large house is found across the road from Casa Loma but it is very hidden by all of the trees and shrubs on its property so it may not get noticed by the visitors to the Casa. Originally built as a private home this is now a convent.
I spotted this cheerful garage door along a laneway called Croft St that I have toured many times. I think this would be a nice door to come home to after a busy day!

The plants along the stream at James Gardens were really starting to pop open when I was there a week ago. Soon the bridges will be surrounded by greenery!
While walking by this antique shop early in the morning I spotted the resident cat grooming itself in the sun. When I stopped the kitty threw itself onto the ground as if begging for a tummy rub. Too bad the shop was still closed!

At this point of the stairway leading up to Casa Loma and Spadina House you have climbed about 100 steps but there are only a dozen left to go. I thought this was a nice scene to greet you and urge you on to the top. The oak trees were just starting to leaf out when I took this pic a week ago. These trees were neighbours of the one I showed a couple of weeks ago that had been destroyed in the wind storm.
