This Sunday is Lynne’s birthday, and the following Thursday is Cynthia’s. Wishing both the best! Woohoo! 🎉🎂
I wish it were better news for this Saturday’s walk but so far the forecast calls for rain. Sunday morning may bring better conditions so let’s play it by ear. Either way, it’s L@8.
I know this is really early, but weekends are filling up, so she and Paul thought best to give everyone as much notice as possible for the annual Pool Party. Mark your calendars.
Saturday July 27; Rain date: Sunday July 28.
It’s yours truly’s turn this Wednesday. OMG!
Plans did not pan out for a test walk this past week, but we are confident the trail will be lovely and we have a brunch place pegged, so the actual Saturday off-site will be May 11. Details to follow for start time, location and car pooling as we get closer to the date.
Ruth sends this link to a NYT article about the great things to do in TO. Some we know, others may be a surprise. If you’re not subscribed to the Times, it may take a few clicks to get there, but you should be able to get in past the pay wall for one article.
Things have been quiet on the wildlife front over the last while, but last Saturday more than made up for it on the Spit. Check out this amazing predator.
Celebrating this coming week are Jim on Sunday and Nishe on Monday. Happy happy to both!
Saturday bodes better than today on the precipitation front, but will be cool and blustery in the morning so a good windbreaker layer is recommended. As Sunday seems like more rain returns, this may be the only option this weekend. L@8
There is a tentative plan to head up to Humber College to check out the West Humber Trail mentioned last week. For anyone interested, meet on EH for carpooling, Thursday April 18 (new date!) at 8:30. Please check WhatsApp for updates before coming over. Brunch to follow.
After a good soaking, let us gather and celebrate dryer weather, and more returnees; welcome back Barbara and Ruth! L@8 with happy feet!
Planning towards our first offsite walk of 2024 is under way. A leading candidate is the Humber Arboretum and West Humber River Valley Discovery Walk.
According to the brochure, this Discovery Walk leads you on a 10 km loop through the West Humber River valley on a mixture of paved, hard-packed and grass trails. There is a shortcut loop option. You can start at the Humber Arboretum (adjacent to Humber College) or at the Humberwood Centre. This walk takes you through ornamental gardens, to an environmentally significant woodland and along the West Humber River, an area once travelled by First Nation peoples.
Parking is close by at Humber College. The date and details will follow on a later post but at this point perhaps on the 11th as a Mother’s Day warmup. Brunch to follow at a location tbd. A group of us will try to do a weekday walk there to scout out before things are settled.
