    Montgomery’s Inn Farmers’ Market and Free Museum in Toronto

    It’s been almost eleven years since I wrote about visiting Montgomery’s Inn Farmers’ Market, so I thought it was time to update the list of the terrific local vendors who exhibit at this year-round market in Etobicoke, located in Toronto’s west end. It was unseasonably cold and raining today so the market was moved inside,…

    The highly anticipated cherry blossom bloom has begun in Toronto so I took Darcie to High Park on her afternoon walk today.

  • Stars at Wintersong Music Festival

    Stars at Wintersong Music Festival

    I had one of my favourite experiences ever seeing my favourite band perform last night. Stars were the headliners this year for Wintersong, a free music festival north of Toronto in Stouffville.
