A peek at this past weekend

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

One of the best things about living where we live is that we can witness the joy that comes over people when the good weather finally hits. Suddenly, there are a million extra bodies populating the patios, parks, sidewalks and bike paths. Outside our door it was a neverending stream of people young and old (not to mention all the dogs!) running, walking, strolling, cycling, smiling, sniffing, laughing.

It all made me so happy I decorated myself with a radish.*

That desert looks interesting….? What is it?

After MONTHS being stuck inside rinks, it’s been so nice to bike, walk, stroll and garden outside! Can’t wait to make it a habit.

Claudette, it’s a frozen yogurt from Yogurty’s! Those little balls on top are fruit balls (er, for lack of a better term). They’re my favourite topping!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
