Today it is sheep in the lawn. This was a display in one of the gardens on the Grimsby Garden Tour in July. The second display was at another house on the tour - I had no idea that we had The Wild West here in Grimsby. This is a tool shed!
The garden of imagination is the perfect phrase to describe this garden captured here. Located on Heath Street in Toronto, it shows how plants are artistic expressions in the landscape. I showed this garden's sculpture of the picture frame and glass vase in an earlier post.
This is a calm moment given today's headline in the Daily Mail: "School holidays' August 1 is the day parents reach 'breaking point' with their kids."
It is followed with these sub-headlines:
- Survey reveals 50 per cent of British parents have had enough by August 1 - On average more than half of the holiday budget will have been spent then - Only one in five parents actually look forward to the summer holidays
We in Ontario celebrate this half-way point with a Civic Holiday. The holiday has many different names at the municipal level, so I guess the half-way point of the summer in Ontario has issues and not everyone gets the day as a holiday. It seems like Ontario is ambivalent about the mid-way mark of Summer. Who would have guessed all this?
