gorgeous roses

 I thought these were a kind of peony, but turns out (according to my phone) these are roses! 

They are so pretty <3

bunny spotted!

 

This bunny crossed my path today ❤️ 

pesticides

 

I hope these pesticides are strong enough to protect our ash trees #please!!

On a side note... I didn't know we had ash trees in Toronto :O

Orange lilies

 

These orange lilies are so vibrant and pretty <3

pink clouds

 

I saw these beautiful clouds today as I was doing my morning walk :)

Look how pink these ones are! They complement the blue sky so well <3

God is an artist <3<3<3

rainbow

 

🌈 I saw another rainbow today... It was huge! 

lilac

 

One of my favourite scents during this season is the lilac <3, I can literally smell this photo :P

small plushies

 

I have never been a fan of these small plushies... You can't cuddle them... and they get dirty from being outside a lot... (this is also one of the reasons why I don't like Labubu's.) But if you like this sort of thing... I found a bunch and took a picture for you :)

litchi season

 

These huge litchis were so good <3 <3 <3

They are pricier than normal litchis, but they are so worth it!! 

They were almost a dollar per litchi

Tesla Cybertruck

 

I am always impressed by the size of a Tesla Cybertruck whenever I see one! They make them look so much smaller than they really are on TV!

Arby's sauces

 I finally got my hands on 2 Arby's signature sauces! :D 

They did not disappoint! I bought some roast beef and made an Arby's-style roast beef sandwich with these two! yum! <3

Ever since Arby's left Toronto over 10 years ago, I thought I would never have another opportunity to try them again, I'm so glad they have these sauces available at Walmart! :D

Margarita pizza

 

I finally have the chance to try authentic Italian pizza. It is so good <3 (Costco labelled it as: Margarita Pinsa). 

(Disclaimer: I have no idea what the difference between a pizza and a pinsa is... apologies in advance if I offend any Italians by mixing the two up)

The pesto sauce made it so flavourful

Cherry season! :D

 

I found these really sweet cherries at Costco! :D

but make sure they are all ripped (darkened) or they are sour

Costco Food Court

 

Another visit to Costco's food court :) The Montreal Smoke Meat Sandwich is back!!!! :D :D :D

cute golf ball

 

I got his for my dad but it was more for me than for him 😆 what a cute golf ball

I really like how chaotic his hair is :P

yellow plushie

 

I ordered a Happy Meal and ended up with this cutie pie :D 

Aluminum foil and perfectionists

 

Aluminum foil must be every perfectionist's worst nightmare... once you slightly ruin the perfect surface, it will never go back, no matter how hard you try ot iron it back... in fact the more you try the worse it becomes >____< hahaha

Yankee Candle air purifiers

 

Yankee Candle isn't as popular as it is in the US in Canada, so it took this long for me to get my hands on something "Yankee Candle". These air fresheners/purifiers are so pungent (but not overwhelming). I'm impressed :)

tulip trees

 

tulip tree flower

Last year, I learned there was a kind of tree called Tulip tree, because its leaves resemble the shape of a tulip, and this year, I learned that said tree produces flowers!?!??! :O :O :O

it's a bunniful day

 

I got to see a few bunnies today! :D They are so cute!

While "talking" to them, I realized what you can say to a bunny can't be said to a human. 

For example:

- Omigosh, you are so cute, come here and let me squeeze you

- you have such a cute butt <3

tonight's dinner, pizza hut

 

Pizza Hut's pizzas always taste so good <3 Their pepperoni pizza is so flavourful <3

And, because I'm in Canada, of course, I ordered a Canadian pizza <3 (Happy Canada Day Week!)

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Today, I want to highlight one of my favourite Canadian Prime Ministers—Lester B. Pearson. If his name sounds familiar, it might be because Toronto’s international airport is named after him—and rightfully so!

Canadian Prime Minister, Lester B. Pearson (1963 to 1968)

Pearson's contributions to Canada were not only impactful but also enduring. When people think of Canada today, many associate us with universal healthcare, a strong social safety net, peacekeeping, and our iconic red and white maple leaf flag. Did you know that we can thank Lester B. Pearson for all of this?

Serving as Prime Minister from 1963 to 1968, Pearson led with diplomacy, vision, and pragmatism. His government introduced universal health care, the Canada Pension Plan, and student loan programs—all of which continue to shape the lives of Canadians today. Under his leadership, Canada also officially adopted the Maple Leaf flag in 1965, giving us a bold and unifying national symbol.

But his influence wasn’t just domestic. Before becoming Prime Minister, Pearson earned international recognition as a skilled diplomat. In fact, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for organizing the first United Nations peacekeeping force, helping to de-escalate the Suez Crisis. His efforts laid the foundation for Canada’s long-standing reputation as a peacekeeping nation.

Lester B. Pearson was a visionary who modernized Canada and helped shape the compassionate, inclusive identity we’re known for today. On this Canada Day, I’m especially grateful for his legacy.

🍁 Thank you, Mr. Pearson—for helping build the Canada we’re so proud to celebrate today! 🍁
