It's Victoria Day Monday

For the past few days, the weather's been weird, starting out grey and eventually getting sunny by the evening. That is what happened today too. We went up to Queen's Park before lunch. As this is the Canadian long-weekend, our summer has unofficially started. This means many things but one is that the kid's petting zoo has reopened in Queen's Park.

There were goats and sheep this year. Young pigs were cavorting around the fenced area. The peacocks were in their enclosure and other ducks and chickens were there. I saw no rabbits and no calf could be found this year. Sometimes animals arrive a few weeks after the opening. The animals spend the summer and then go back to farms after Labour Day.





Before heading up to the park, Jay and I did wash the truck. I will have owned it for 22 years next month. This is the old Ranger I was ready to replace as soon as we got back from our winter in SE Asia. KIA Canada couldn't get a Niro PHEV for me, so I decided to wait for another year.

As we will take it a short 2-day road trip starting tomorrow, Jay figured we could remove a layer or two of grime. Damn, it looks pretty good for its age, doesn't it? In that respect, it is just like me, I guess.
