September 24 - Day 432
Volunteer duty for One Care at the grocery check today. Only 2 hours this year versus last year's 16 and a warm sunny day versus the rain and cold of last year. 2011 takes it!
September 23 - Day 431
Man Bouquet.
Well it was my last day at my job today. CC made me this card, "I opted to get you a bouquet of men rather than actual flowers". I love it! You may be wondering about Mike Myers in this bunch of hotties. At work we listen to a "light favourites" radio station where once a day they play the 1997 single from Chantel Kreviazuk entitled Wayne. It's our song, her Wayne is Mike Myers, my Wayne is Wayne Gretzky. Generational differences.
September 22 - Day 430
Willows on William St. If I was a tree, I wouldn't mind being a Willow. Also, great movie. "Wiiiiiilllllllllooooooowwww"
September 21 - Day 429
C and I skipped the 5:45 am run this morning for a "fun run" this evening. Basically we wanted to try and see how far we could make it, so with the Festival City 10 K route printed we set off making it 9K, our longest run ever! It was a beautiful night for a run and on the way home I stopped by York St for a round of night shots. Here we see closing time at York St. Kitchen (YSK).
September 19 - Day 427

C, R and I catch a few of the last dragon boat races of today's annual Stratford Dragon Boat Festival.
September 16 - Day 424
Besides the peonies, this might be the only plant that survives the dig up of the very back of my yard. I spent most of last Sunday pulling and cutting to make way for the fruit and vegetable garden I'm planning for next year.

September 9 - Day 417
Today I spent some time with Mom and B. We went and played at Upper Queen's Park, went out for lunch and made a stop at Family & Co. ("You can pick out one thing B", "How many cents is this?" "Waaaayyyy to many!") A nice way to spend a lieu day!
September 5 - Day 413
What a difference a year, and a zoom, makes. This is the neighbourhood cat who likes to lounge in various backyards. I took a shot of him last year on Day 45 with my old canon powershot. Here he is at about the same distance with my olympus.

September 1 - Day 409
Since I was sitting here for about 10 minutes I figured to use my time wisely.
August 31 - Day 408
Today was my first trip to Marineland! M, J, George and I took the trip with the Dickinson clan. Thanks to D, our personal tour guide who just happens to be a whale trainer at the park! Not only did we learn lots from him, we also got a glimpse of things behind the scenes and even got to go "backstage" after one of the shows to meet and pet a dolphin! I was too excited to take photos of that event but here's a shot of one of the many belugas at the park. They are such incredible creatures!
