Thanksgiving in Toronto

Rohaizad and I walking the cold Canadian streets of Toronto:

A rainbow over the city:

We found a restaurant that served turkey on Thanksgiving. As a bonus we also got to overhear an intriguing conversation by three old men. Dinner AND entertainment; we are all class!

Pumpkin Decorating at School

Yea for Indian Summer!

Well, our long, cold winter is over and spring has arrived with all it's warmth. Earlier than usual! But I spent the day inside at work, looking at this view:

Stepping Out

I love this picture of Rohaizad stepping boldly forth from the vast tomato orchards of Singapore and into the world.

And now as he is stepping out again. Yea!

Time to Cylburn

Only a half-day of work today. So I bolted out the door at closing time, changed into my hiking gear and hopped the bus to Cylburn Arboretum.

The colors are past their peak. Way past their peak. But the sky was bright blue, the air was brisk, so it was still a beautiful day outside.

I was the only person I saw in the park, which was nice. But I did stumble across two deer carcasses. Well, ONE deer carcass and one unidentifyable carcass. This park is in Baltimore City, so I want to think that it was also a dead deer. Please let it be a deer.

Me & 2 of My Fave Peeps

This picture is six months old, but I like it. So there.

How Glass Blocks Brought Joy to My Hum-Drum Existence

I've owned this house for more than six years, but the basement windows have always been boarded up. I've had several visitors from Singapore (besides Rohaizad) and they were all afraid to go downstairs because it was so dark and dungeon-like.

Well, today as I sit here typing, I am getting glass blocks installed down there. What a life-changing experience! The dungeon is no longer a dungeon! If I wasn't such an inhibited person, I would've set up a folding chair down there and watched the workers work. Instead I just go down there every three minutes and look.
