"I love living in Toronto"
This is getting out of hand. Two sunny Sundays in a row?? April must be over indeed.Today we rode down to the tip of the Leslie Street Spit, a man-made finger of "land" made mostly from the great swath of the downtown that got bulldozed when the CBD was built. I gather that it was made to stabilize Toronto against the constant flux that is a part of any coastline.It was sunny and cool, but almost everyone we passed was wearing either shorts or t-shirts or both, almost like they were programming themselves with the mantra, "It's sunny, therefore it's warm. It's sunny, therefore..." Part of the spit is a bird sanctuary, and we showed The Boy all of the swifts and geese and loons and cormorants and even a swan.We toured a bit of the neighbourhood south of King Street and east of Parliament upon returning to the city; we'll be participating in Doors Open Toronto in a couple of weeks and I wanted to find two of the locations. When the weather's this good, any excuse works.When we got home, we were sitting under the extended awning on our balcony and reading. I was editing a portion of my aunt's forthcoming novel when Mari said, "What a great day. I love living in Toronto!"Three good things that happened today:1. Got a second mild sunburn. Hooray for sunshine!2. Found some interesting buildings.3. Mari seems to be getting used to her new life.
