August and September seem to be prime season for many of the local neighborhood festivals in Toronto. Tomorrow, weather permitting, we will be taking Morgen (and Grandma and Grandpa) to Bloor West Village for the annual Ukrainian Festival. Last weekend, though, we caught the very tail end of the Junction Arts Festival. Above are a couple of belated pictures. (By the way, this was my first time "wearing" Morgen. Doesn't she make a lovely accessory?)
The Junction is the area of Toronto immediately north of us where several of the old major rail lines converge. It's not quite as gentrified as Bloor West Village, but it has its own charm. And we had a great, if abbreviated, time. They had a little historical section to celebrate the Junction's centennial, complete with a 1950s Toronto police car (Taxi, anyone?) and a chain gang musical act (of which we didn't get a photo, but Morgen and I danced a little). There was also lots of food and artists exhibiting their work.
On an entirely different note, I just couldn't resist posting the photo below of Morgen and Piper the Mouse. Despite appearances, Piper is one of Morgen's favorite toys. If only I had Photoshop, I could insert a thought balloon. I wonder what I would write in it ...
