It's an early taste of hot summer weather here, so out I went yesterday (and again today). It's just sweltering. I headed downtown on my favourite ride, stopping at the library to return a book, and heading on to McGinty's for a quick cup of coffee. I drove the one block down to the harbour and got my first look of the summer before heading home.
One lawn in front of a big old house had a huge patch of bright blue Scilla in full bloom.
And our local flower shop, Simply Unique, has moved back to a wheelchair accessible location. I stopped in to say hello and expect to stop again. It's in a space renovated to be a pizza shop which never went anywhere.
It was a quick stop at the library this time, just returning a book.
Then it was coffee time and I discovered they serve a maple syrup latte! First choice for me.
I just stopped at the harbour long enough to take a picture. It shows what a beautiful day we had!
Oooh, I would like to try that drink! That looks like quite a big harbor, when the warm weather triggers people to get out sailing it should be busy.
ReplyDeleteSpring has sprung and you have been sprung also. Enjoy the weather and the heat too!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a delightful time!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day! Glad you are able to take advantage. The drink sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI love the library sign, barn board sets it off.
What a beautiful day you had! Summer certainly has come early this year, good you can enjoy it until you melt from the heat.
ReplyDeleteTo be out and about agin, what a delight. It all looks very spring-like.
ReplyDeleteGlad you could get out and about. I wouldn't mind trying a maple syrup latte myself but I may have to make my own. Not sure they're available out here.
ReplyDeleteIt must be quite a relief to be set free again after being "grounded" throughout your long winter. I hope you'll be able to enjoy frequent outings now.
ReplyDeleteYou are talking about Wednesday, and then we had Thursday. How incredible was that. Today, Friday, will be nice too but somewhat more seasonal.
ReplyDeleteWhat fine pictures, and show that you are definitely getting around quite well these days. Happy spring!
ReplyDeleteHow great that you got downtown for a coffee.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I do hope the weather continues to be good and you're able to get outdoors and enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteWe had a skiff of snow overnight but it is melting already this morning. Still lots of dirty piles to get rid of but I can safely say spring is here.
Lots of pretty blue in this post! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad the season for your outings has finally arrived. Our picnics will be another few weeks.
ReplyDeleteIt was an amazing day. Today is better, though. It was way too hot.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great harbour view.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs, what a beautiful day ... I hope the weather stays like this for you a little longer.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
What a nice outing for you!
