this week my adventure buddy and I volunteered at MTC a couple of times… both shows were sold out…

it was the first time either of us had done this and we enjoyed the experience… there are around 20 volunteers at each performance and you have the opportunity to choose which of the spots you would like to work at…

there were people from every age and even the littlest kids were mesmerized;-)…

we saw the show from both sides and were pleased because it was so different depending on the side, and who was in front of us, lol…

we were especially lucky to have our own personal driver for both shows…

kind of look like twins;-)…

it was a beautiful sunny day as we went for another walk along a different section of the Harte Trail the other day…

the sunshine was glorious and the path was dry…

this portion had a canopy so it felt as though we were walking in a bit of a tunnel… can’t wait to walk this one in the summer when the leaves are overhead…

beautiful trees and a lovely sky… an excellent way to get our exercise in when we can’t make it to the pool…

also tested out my new boots;-)…

went for a walk on the Harte Trail section of the Trans Canada Trail with my adventure buddy…

it was quite lovely, other than the puddles from the recent rain, lol…

we may have seen some cedar waxwings, although they were a long way off and high in a tree…

I am looking forward to going back in different seasons to see the changes…

we had a fun time;-)…

had breakfast with my adventure buddy at the Park Cafe on Friday… I hadn’t been for awhile, but it was lovely to be recognized by the waitstaff…

enjoyed the classic eggs Benedict with tomatoes instead of hash browns…

then we had a short walk through the English Gardens and a quick look at the water lily pond in the Leo Mol Garden…

the flowers were stunning and we were drawn to all the beautiful dahlias and and roses…

as always the water lilies were blooming in the heated pond…

the frogs do enjoy the warm water, lol…

lovely time;-)…

wow, last night we went to see a light ballet…

it was fun to go out in the evening because I don’t do that very often anymore, lol…

reminded me of when my housemate and I went to see a candlelight music presentation last year… standing in a long line beforehand and then how quickly it moved once the doors opened…

there was wine available and it was interesting to see the variety of people who attended, from young girls to elderly couples… seemed like date night for many in attendance…

besides the five dancers, a violinist played at various points during the show…

while the performance was on there was not a sound in the audience…

parking went well and even the cold temperatures didn’t bother the crowd…

verbena…

Tuesday, started the day by planting a tomato and a couple of types of cucumbers, including the splinted ones…

then I went to LeClerc’s with my adventure buddy…

had fun;-)… found some purple petunias, a fuchsia, a white begonia, salvia, white and purple verbena, and parsley for the swallowtails…

then stopped by DJ Paterson’s and found some milkweed and a beautiful purple clematis…

was able to get the begonia and verbena planted…

still have some planting to do…
