I had to pop over to the bank machine early this morning and I found this poppy, probably plucked by some late night revellers ( I think I remember hearing some yelling ) left on the sidewalk. I passed it on the way but could not leave it on the way back, I rescued it and put it in a glass on the table. How I love poppies. They are one of the many plants on my list for the new teeny tiny garden. On wednesday night, we rushed over after work and had pizza and wine on the porch, happy as a pair of larks. We have a nice Chinese family on one side and a sweet Portuguese granny on the other, ( I love Toronto's multiculturalism!) lots of kids around and probably stray cats. We aren't moving in for a few weeks to let the electricians get down to business without junk around. Both of us are busting to get in there though and I can envision the next weeks waiting for that being rather trying. Yesterday a dark panic settled on me at the jittery newness of everything, the unknown parts of houses, the dark basement corners and mysterious problems that tend to cost thousands of dollars when they happen at the worst times. TERROR!
I am trying to focus on the things that make me so exited - the tree, a window in the bathroom, stairs, quiet of not being on a main street, sitting in the kitchen having my tea with light pouring in, baking a pie, sitting for hours on the front porch with my book. To also not forget that moving is a top big stress ( thanks for reminding me of that
H!) and to just be there with that, not fight it franticly like I tend to do! Tonight my friend
Isabelle has invited us for supper to welcome us to the neighborhood- she lives around the corner! ( that will be fun ) I intend to have a glass of red wine and enjoy the moment.
Have a great weekend everyone!
thankyou soo much for all the kind words from last post!
Oh and to explain the title, in the back and to the left, I spied stripey kids tee shirts hanging to dry in the yard of the house with bikes. That's always a good sign!
How exciting!
Just focus on the positive... It'll be your house, you can paint the walls whatever colours you choose!
Enjoy every bit of it.

I just bought 2 (more) striped tshirts yesterday! I'm hot for stripes, too. Yeah moving is a big job. But it sounds like a really positive move. Bon courage!!
