April in the Music Garden

April 2020 found your Tomatoes From Canada at home in Toronto, sheltering in place.
 Bill made these masks from my father's vintage cotton handkerchiefs -- our look is a mix of Pietro Longhi, the James Brothers and Cthulu.
 Say what you like about our pesky pandemic, our exceptionally cool, wet, Spring
gave rise to bulbs that came up early
and have just refused to quit.
Bill and I are lucky to live
near the beautiful, quiet, Music Garden.
We count our blessings beside the Toronto Fallen Firefighters Memorial,
and never tire of the boats docked at Spadina Quay.
We enjoy sharing a neighbourhood
with the local water fowl,
on the calm shore of Lake Ontario.

  1. Another delightful post! It's such a beautiful walk along the harbour and the Music Garden is a real gem in the city. Lovely to see it through your lens.

  3. Love the masks, is there any way to up-cycle them, the need a bit of colour, a bit of flash.

  4. The handkerchiefs make great face coverings, offering you full protection. I hope now people have invested in buying face masks that in the future they will continue to wear them in cold and flu season.

  6. Looks like a nice park to sit in and have a beer.
