bloomin beauties

Well it didn't rain this weekend, but on Saturday there was a bunch of mini hail off and on throughout the day. Otherwise it was very mild, and the buds they are a bloomin all over my neighbourhood!


Little Italy is full of brick victorians, painted and unpainted, gingerbreaded and modernized, with front gardens that are just big enough for flowers,

I can't wait for all the lilacs on my street to bloom, but the cherry blossoms in High Park are in full swing!!


And so were all the cherry blossom watchers since there was no precipitation of any kind on Sunday.

because beauty,


and cuteness,

was all around.


The sewing machine remains in its box.
