We swing by Acton's Prospect Park to look for little baby ducks or geese and don't find any yet. Most of the birds have paired up and the first babies are usually of the Canadian Geese variety, later the baby ducklings will make an appearance.

I love when the ducks feed off the lake bottom, they rotate and push their beaks under water and their ass points to the sky.

A sundial in Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto keeps track of time. I took the picture thinking it was a globe, representing the planet, but I was wrong.

Thinking of Earth also brings to mind the problems going on around the planet - from human rights issues to hunger, from the loss of trillions of dollars in value from stocks, banks, homes, etc and the massive increases we have seen and will see in energy and food. Everything is related - including how we treat the Earth, so hopefully we can all work together to try and fix things. Don't forget small acts of kindness, free hugs, the love of family and friends and contributing to the welfare of people and the planet.

Edwina (Jessica), far left, and the gang gather around Ziggy (Erin) as sings a solo in the McKenzie-Smith Bennett Middle School production of Dear Edwina. Don took the picture - which was difficult to do with the lack of good light and no flash allowed. I will post videos on Youtube of the performance.

The kids were out Friday night so Ann and I went to one of our favourite restaurants - Swiss Chalet (in Milton) and had a nice dinner all by ourselves. Coming out of the restaurant I noticed the pay phone had a keyboard built in - just perfect for texting. This is the first time I have seen one of these phones and I thought it was funny.
