Near Bloor and Bathurst, there’s a beauty not to mess with.

Read, Watch & Travel
Reading is wonderful!
Watching TV, whether series, movies, music videos, virals or documentaries is entertaining and relaxing. Networked, streamed or on DVD is fab.
Toronto’s Red Rocket (public transportation) won’t take you across the ocean, but it symbolizes traveling from here to there.
Ste J Reviews covers all.

BTW, you can blow below pic up, too!
Moss Park Market
It’s a wonderful place to buy fresh veggies and fruits, in a shipping container.
The container was donated. The donors fixed up the inside to be a fresh produce market.
The donors also installed electricity, heat and AC, so that it could be opened year round.
Located in an inner city part of Toronto, this endeavor is bringing healthy food to very low income people and families who would normally not afford it.
As there are no operating costs, the food is priced well below market.
Read the CBC article about Moss Park Market
The moment I laid eyes on the colorful renditions of the fruits, veggies and flowers decorating it, I knew I had found my Thank You post for Benji and Ms. Zulu.
You might remember that Benji and Ms. Zulu hosted a Vegetable Garden post for Kids” Month.
Every city should have projects like this to help out.

⭐ ⭐ THANK YOU, BENJI & MS. ZULU! ⭐ ⭐
Benji and Ms. Zulu were the best helpers I ever had. They know a lot about planting, watering and why we should not use pesticides. You can visit them by clicking on their names or on their pic.
They want to remind everyone to visit “Vegetables & Fruits Dogs Can & Can’t Eat”
Also, you can visit their mom’s blog by clicking on the picture of the flower. It is a very pretty blog & is called by their mom’s name, Anarette! ⭐ Thank you, Anarette! ⭐
Urban Hummingbird
This fabulous hummingbird is part of a massive mural in Toronto’s east end Chinatown.
How perfect to thank Cindy Knoke for her contributions to Kids’ Month.
After all, Cindy is the winner of the best and most hummingbird posts, ever!
Of Course the mural is not all about the hummingbird.
There are more aspects to this beautiful work.
Such as this flower at the opposite end, or are they leaves that look like a flower?
Mountain peaks and
… and mountain terraces to a shrine.
It was very difficult to shoot this with my IPhone.
The pic above is cropped. I had to stand quite far away to capture it in 1 piece.
Well, maybe it is all about the hummingbird, and its flower!

A big “thank you” to Cindy Knoke, a fave blogger of mine. She takes fabulous photographs, and shares them with us. Her blog is visually gorgeous and educational. Click on her pic, or name to visit her blog.

Redemption Wall Fairy
It wasn’t always this glamorous out here in the alley.
“Destination Mammal Cabana” was a quirky mural. I adored it & walked by it almost every day. Click on the pic to visit the post I did 4 years ago. It’s now in RIP
Then, recently one morning, I walked through the alley and saw:
It was hideous.
Graffiti Art had been obliterated by graffiti throw-ups and tags.
Using Fairy Power, I got word of the devastation out to the street artists.
Soon after, on Easter Morning, I saw this:
It was like a dream come true!
So, I put on a clear plastic garment bag and a gorgeous 10 year old Vera Wang wedding gown. I hightailed it back down to the alley,
… whereupon Tensoe painted me,
… while I took in all the new art.
It had been decided by the artists that they would do predominately Graf Writing, as a means to keep the destroyers away.
⭐ Sherrie, there’s a rat in this slideshow for you! At least I think it’s a rat. Lol, last rat turned out to be a squirrel.
After I was finished, I was named Tenesa, and had my picture taken with all the Graf Writing and pieces.
♫ ♫ I feel pretty, oh so pretty ♫ ♫
Best time I’ve had since New Years!
Not sure how this happened? There was only 1 pic like this.
Oh no, it’s time to go! Sniff!

I would like to take a ⭐ fairy moment ⭐ here to thank Brenda Davis Harsham. Her blog, Friendly Fairytales is absolutely wonderful. It’s as though Brenda got lost in the woods, as a child, then was found and raised by fairies.
Brenda was one of the first two who said they would contribute to Kids’ Month. She wrote 3 poems. Thank you, Brenda!
I’d like to add that Brenda’s fairy knowledge of all lands magic gave me the idea for the title, and a centered concept for this post. In my heart I feel she is the “Redemption Wall Fairy”.
The Gown Artist:
Thank you, Tensoe! You are forever etched into my heart!
A Cat & Dogs
The cat seems nervous, but holds its own in a world of dogs.
Above and below blow up nicely!
I’m a cat person, and I adore dogs.

Yellow Dragon
Don’t be afraid! Painted dragons can’t bite, even if they look fierce.
…. and don’t be afraid to visit some “Dragon Tales” on Sidran’s most interesting blog.
Sidran, who works with children in New Delhi (now that’s fierce!) sent us a mural from New Delhi, for Kids’ Month.
Thank you so much, Sidran.
