Hello Readers
Here's another montage of photos for the month of April. It's lots of flowers but then I think a lot happens in April in quick succession - the bulbs flower, trees start to bud up, leaves come out and the sun has been out which always makes you feel cheerful.
The lowlight was the calendar where the only thing I had written on there was cancelled. The highlights, well there were a few - an orange supermoon, an exam, meeting friends in the park etc.
I've been researching a Pape family who moved to York, Ontario (now Toronto) in 1844. My Papes are from East Yorks, UK but there is a Pape Avenue, Cemetery, Subway Station in East York, Ontario and it's taken me years to pin the family down. Apparently 3 generations of Papes (Joseph James and his 3 sons John Joseph, Joseph James and James Joseph) were market gardeners and florists in the area of Leslieville and were so well liked they named Pape Avenue after them. I found an old photo in the Florists Magazine so have included it. Sadly I don't think they are relatives of mine but still interesting!
So what will May bring? I have 3 weeks of exams/assessments so guess I won't get out much to take photos but we will see. I'm definitely starting with Bluebells.
Take care
Elaine xx
