walking to the Post Office


The local Post Office is a 10 minute walk away. I go several times a week  and yesterday I took my camera.


 First up, the flower pots on out front steps. This year a fancy arrangement chosen by my sister, I usually just pick up some chrysanthemums from my local supermarket of choice.



  A brand new playground at the top of the road, all natural colors unlike the primary colours of the early 80s equipment that it replaced.


Like most bloggers I stop to admire the fall leaves.....


 but not the changing landscape. Toronto's population is growing by 100,000 a year and the high rise/ condominium boom shows no sign of abating.


Unlike our neighbors to the south, Canadians are not supplied with free postal boxes.



I took a different route  home and found this on the library wall.... no one in the library seemed to know anything about it so it came home with me.

  2. What a strange thing to abandon on a wall - but at least it now has a good home!

    1. I think it may have been abandoned from a small apt building near by that will soon be torn down for yet another bloody high rise.
