a house that is a home by summerfield

a house that is a home

passed by this cute house during my walk last weekend. i know two older ladies live here because i would see them doing the gardens the few afternoons i had walked around here. the garden is simple but lovely and most times very colourful. the lighting this time is a bit atrocious but no one's about and that's the photo i wanted.

funny story last night. during a lull in conversation in the afternoon, my boss asked me if i have finished the peggy's cove lighthouse painting. i told him i was just painting in the details of the rocks and that i would send him a photo before i post it here. so i sent it by text and when he hasn't acknowledged it, i checked my message if it went through. it did, to the ex who has the same first name and their names were just right next to each other by virtue of the first letter of their last names. so i sent it again, to the right address this time and my boss right away texted back saying his wife thought it was 'stunning', then after awhile my phone beeped and there was a message, from the ex, saying "great photo, your eye gets better with age". i texted back i said, "wrong jim, sorry. and it's not a photo, it's a painting, please delete." to which he texted again saying, you're a painter now? and i replied "no, i'm an artiste!" 😜

Such a fun story!

How far did you go on your walk!? I thought you lived in the middle of Toronto and this looks like a house that would be seen miles away! Terrific capture of it and I don’t think the light is atrocious at all.

This is a lovely home and garden. I think you need to delete the ex from your phone! 😊

@louannwarren - i have deleted him and haven't heard from him for a long time. but he contacted me last week because the grands told him they are coming (he is their de facto grandpa and they are in touch) next week so he was asking if they were staying with me as he would like to take them out for dinner. that's how his name and phone number were in my text cue. i have deleted him already (again). haha!

@grammyn - toronto is a very big city that is home to a multitude of cultures and races and sinners. i am in a community of mostly old residential homes about 12 miles northeast of downtown toronto. this is near the church i attend which is around 2 miles one way from where i live. it's more or less a 30-minute walk.

I ride around and admire the gardens. These ladies have very green thumbs and it's evident they enjoy their flowers.

I wish I could have a garden like that but alas I am too lazy. (o; Cute home, nice shot.
