The fire trucks on the street.
I see the fire trucks up the street in May 2026 spraying the water to cleanse their hoses I think. These photos were from my cell phone
Then I got my camera to take some as well.
On my walk this morning when I came to Mt. Pleasant Park, I saw a Sandpiper bird. Then another and one that looked like a baby. Usually the birds are near a beach. But the sand in the playground area was inviting I guess.
So some memories of my childhood came to the surface. My biological Dad was always pointing out birds and flowers and nature to me. I know so many names of birds because of that habit.
So seeing the sandpiper reminded me of all the times I learnt names of stuff.
But seeing a sandpiper in the park was poignant. Was it there as a reminder to me to look into my memories?

Disappointing to lose but proud of how our Team Canada played for the whole country.
The watch party was well attended even though the rain in the morning had been daunting but held off after 11 to 3.
Fans in Richmond Hill and everywhere across Canada.
Our Emcee talking and our DJ taking photos. Kept the party moving.
We lost to Morocco but our hearts will always be with the team.
Go Canada Go.

On my walk this morning I stopped and chatted with a lady who said happy Canada Day. She is a PSW for a private patient who had a stroke and has needed help for years. I told her- Tess- she was a special person to provide the wonderful care she does every day.
One Regional police car and then a York Region Poèice regular car went by me. Working on a Stat holiday. I thought about the losses in June of 3 officers in Canada. They served and protected and lost their lives..
Near the little park, an ambulance went up the hill beside me. I remembered my rides in 2018 with Adolph,
Community helpers. Serving people. How lucky to live where people serve and protect.
Yes you can have lots of money and be happy. But there is something valuable about the people in our communities that are there for us
First responders, PSWs, Health Care workers and so many more.
Thank you.
