Toronto’s High Park in the Spring

Wednesday, April 21st, was a wonderful spring day… sunny and about 18 degrees. Margaret-Ann and I had completed our chores by mid morning, so we decided to head off to Toronto for a hike through High Park. We arrived to find the cherry blossoms of the Sakura trees in full bloom – truly amazing! We hiked through the park and along several trails for a few hours before heading back to Brampton mid afternoon. Boy it’s nice to be retired!
