This weeks theme is Practical
Ok well this might be exactly my dream house, but I’d like one with many of it’s features.
I love this houses wrap around verandas and upstairs balconies. I think it’s a very practical use of space and well, practically or not I just love houses with upper and lower balconies and porches.
This house is in the Beaches area of Toronto.

This weeks theme is Smelly
I think it’s finally starting to cool down a bit here. I’m not a big fan of winter so I almost wish that we could just skip winter and move on to spring. At least then I’d be able to admire my lovely Karl Rosenfield peonies again.
These peonies have a delicate sweet scent. So yes, this flower counts for todays smelly Photo Hunter theme.

This weeks theme is Original
I wonder if someone were to kiss this crowned frog if it would turn into Prince Charming?
This is another piece of metal artwork that my husband and I saw when we went to the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition in downtown Toronto during the summer.
The show was fantastic, but I enjoyed the metal art work the most.
I’d love to have this metal sculpture either in my garden or on our front porch to greet visitors.

This weeks theme is Music
Usually it’s hot peppers making people dance, or well maybe dash off to the washroom, but in this case it was the peppers that we dashing, dancing and racing!
I think it was the 7th inning of the baseball game when, during a short break, three Ranchero peppers came out to entertain the crowd. I’ve seen them do this before so this must be a regular feature for “Ranchero dip” .
The music that was played during the “big race” was la Cucoracha (I think). It was amusing to say the least. There were three peppers racing in all, but the yellow pepper got tripped early in the race. As you can see in this blurry photo the green pepper was in the lead and he? won the race.

This weeks theme is Happy
A couple of weeks ago my husbands brother and his kids came to visit from Chicago. We had a very busy few days while they stayed in our home!
While they were here we had some old friends over and sat in the garden talking and having fun one evening. Another day we went to the big Toronto festival “Taste of the Danforth” and then there were shopping trips with the teenage kids, a little sight seeing, dinners out and a nice trip to the beach.
I think the day that we went to the beach and just relaxed with our friends was the nicest day. Certainly that was the day that I was happiest.
Naturally I brought my camera to the beach that day and the photo I’ve included in this post was taken that day at in “the beaches” area of Toronto.
