We had a lovely Easter weekend, and I thought I'd head out on Monday for a stroll and a visit to one of my favourite patios.
unfortunately, it isn't in the town where I live, but no matter
except for special events, my town doesn't do banners, which is a shame as I think they liven up the streetscape.
there wasn't really much evidence of spring yet, either,
though this planter at the cafe did a grand job
and the weather wasn't quite warm enough to sit without a second layer, but that didn't stop any of us. there isn't nearly enough outdoor seating and many people chose, or had no other choice, to sit inside. though, by the time I was ready to leave, so were a lot of other people. and then it clouded over and started to rain...
oh, I just realized that this is my 1000th post!
it has taken me six years to get here.

DeleteAfter a long, cold winter we are so happy to be outside. Feels great to feel the warmth of the sun, even if we need a light jacket. Congratulations on your 1,000th post. Happy Spring.
ReplyDeleteI don't really understand why we don't sit outside more often, even in cooler weather.
DeleteApparently, you need a European lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteYes! I agree!

thanks. spring is my favourite time of year - when I feel the most energized.
DeleteThat planter is so beautiful! I've always dreamed of working/living in the west so I can experience the beauty of the 4 seasons, specially spring and autumn.
ReplyDeleteI think the change in seasons make you appreciate weather much more. (It does mean you have to have lots of storage though!)
DeleteHappy 1,000 postversary :) I too am hoping for Spring. Lovely banners though :)
ReplyDeletethanks. I think we are well on our way to spring now.
Deletewonderful street life photos!
ReplyDeleteI have to practice getting more street life with people. I love those scenes and don't take enough of them.
DeleteI am with you on the banners! Bright banners!
