Ukranian Catholic Church

The Mister and me saw St. Elias Church on our drive this morning.
At first I thought it was an Orthodox Church because of the architecture...but it turns out that it's a Ukrainian Catholic Church built entirely out of wood.
Very beautiful.

We bought wood from the really friendly guy across the road

Asparagus Farm

The Mister and me went for a drive to Caledon this morning. We stopped by this farm and bought some fresh asparagus..


Then we stopped at a Church Bazaar where I bought a bag of childrens books for a dollar. I found some great Japanese childrens books there, and I almost bought a crystal liquor decanter for 5 bucks, but then I snapped out of my Young and the Restless episode and put it down.
On occasion I do get an attack of Slav-ness.

Junction Road and Caledonia

Etta is Coming...

Etta James is coming to The Hummingbird Centre, and as usual...I'm late on the draw.
I went to buy tickets and found that there are only shitty seats left...and not only shitty, but singles as well.
So, The Mister and I can go out on a date and sit separately.
Ummm...no...maybe next time...

Deepa Mehta

I love Deepa Mehta's movies.
From Sam and Me, the first movie of hers I ever saw, to Bollywood Hollywood, to Water.
I love her intensity, her fearlessness, her anger, and her humour.
Today, I watched Fire and took some pictures while I was watching.


Radha's character is so sweet, and hard working, and humble.
She lives a life of quiet servitude until Sita comes.


Sitas smokes.


Radha asks for her husbands blessing.


The matriarch.


Sita as a young girl.


Sita arrives.

Princes' House!

or maybe this is Prince's House...



Or maybe not....I drove through the Bridal Path the other day to avoid traffic while on the way to the east end. I saw another house with a purple gate, but I had a tailgater and couldn't stop to photograph it.
If you weren't Prince, would you paint your front gate purple?

The River Sutra

Thank goodness for libraries.
I was attracted to this book because of it's cover.

The Dutch Nursery is closing

A Day at the Nurseries

Saffron Rock Sugar

Sunny Bar

These storefronts are not for long, my friends.
There are a few peppered around the city, tucked into old neighbourhoods...but it won't be long before they go the way of the lakeshore, to be replaced by glass and concrete condos.

1950's Diner in Brampton

WAIT!!! Is that The Fonz!?!


and last but not least...the bewildered waitress

Motel in Niagara Falls NY

It won't be long before these old motels from the 1950's and 1960's are no more.
