Fern Avenue Little Library

Got this book from the Fern Library

I like the review quote inside:

"The Book of Doing isn't just a book. It's a solution.

It's a fountain of youth. It's a reminder that 

true happiness isn't something you chase. It's

something you unlock within yourself."

Coffee time.

Stopped at a neighbourhood coffee shop

I Deal Coffee
221 Sorauren AvenueEvery neighbourhood should have an indie coffee roaster/shop.

Coffee, latte and a gluten-free cookie.

It was a beautiful warm windless +4C day
so we could sit outside on the patio.

BlogTO calls Craven Road one of Toronto's weirdest streets.

There's a cottage feel to this road. 

A quiet one-way street, full of old small houses (almost all of them under 46 square metres).

A wooden fence lines one side of the street. 

Craven Road has the longest municipally maintained fence in the city.

This part of the neighbourhood uses the fence to display art.

Just a few doors south of the little blue library.

The sign on the door is a funny way to 

hopefully, detour someone from taking all of the books.

Rule 2: If your licence plate is xxxx xxx, see Rule 1.
