This fine-looking muddy pal (upper left) appears at the Leslieville FB page with much admiration. He heralds Spring as does (upper right) the arrival of Lou Lou’s flower truck at Yonge St. and Roxborough Ave. Rosebuds are ready to burst on Bayview Ave. at McRae Dr. as captured by Rudy Limeback. Thanks for that. Centre left, The Thirsty Duck is a favorite eatery on Queen St. at Carlaw Ave but sadly it will close in days over a rent increase. Below that, a wayback backplay on Leaside Chit Chat where old photos of the swimming pool at the Leaside baronial estate known as Divadale are posted. Diva means the Divine One. Divadale sat at the top of Sutherland Dr. and the gates remain today. Below that, a reminder from friend Wilmar Kortleever about the sale of garden goods this month by the 132nd Scouts. Finally, at bottom right, that esteem-building experience called the citizen clean-up. This one will take place at Ramsden Park on Yonge St. Sadly, it appears the Spring citizen cleanup of Bayview Ave. has been superseded by a commercial firm.
