tags: tulips and bokeh

giant tulips, that's what's new in the little parks we passed by today on our walk around the danforth area, my old stomping ground. even though the afternoon turned more gray and windy as it grew later, it didn't seem to dampen people's mood. our city and province have allowed some businesses to operate again starting on tuesday, and activities abound where shops are preparing to open up. it also being a long weekend for us, it's the victoria day weekend, people seem enthusiastic as this is the weekend that is a precursor to summer. but one would note that people are cautious and social distancing is well observed.

i think that i want to move back here where everything is in proximity -- stores, shops, beauty salons, hospital, restaurants, police station, churches, parks, liquor store, theatres, funeral homes, beaches, and cemeteries. although i wouldn't have a need for the last one. the funeral home, maybe, but hopefully not for a long time.
This is just lovely. I really like the perspective. Tulips are one of my favourite flowers and we seldom see them. They are very difficult to grow where we live. To buy a bunch of them is ridiculously expensive

Lovely POV. I think it’s important to live close to the necessities of life, especially when we get older.

@grammyn - rents have skyrocketed when rent control was abolished. if the economy goes boinkers prices might go down but doubt it. affordable housing for seniors are almost non-existent and what's available are so expensive.
