Beside Pazzo. The sign on the rock says: Site of the Shakespeare Hotel First Permanent Building Erected in Stratford 1832.
The Shakespearean tradition goes back a long way here…

The Weekly Breakfast Early Summer Edition
Friday, May 20, 2011
A Friendly Good Morning
When we raise the bedroom blind in the morning, this is what greets us. It’s a lovely way to start the day.
Living in Stratford, a lot of people ask us what plays we recommend. Grapes of Wrath is definitely on the ‘must see’ list. It’s heart-breakingly brilliant.

Back to normal next week though…

This Could Take Awhile
Gardening season has finally begun here in Stratford.
One of our plans for this year is to dig up all the grass from our front boulevard and replace it with decorative grasses and other lovely things that don’t need mowing.
But since our plans also include things like being able to walk upright and maybe breathe without pain, progress will be slow.
We’ll keep you posted…

A Little Work
One of our local churches is getting a little work done.
Maybe it’s because of the time we’ve spent in Paris (where work is always being done somewhere), but there’s something about the heightened mystery of a building shrouded in scaffolding that adds a touch of magic. Or is it just us?
At Long Last Spring!
A couple of Stratford’s beautiful old houses see through a haze of buds.
We don’t want to jinx it, but Spring may finally be upon us!

The Weekly Breakfast Twenty Percent Chance of Rain edition
As the skies grow progressively darker, we decide to eat in the kitchen this week. Having to dash inside in the middle of a meal is just too much excitement for a lazy Saturday…
Hope you’re all having a lovely, tasty weekend!

Sunlight and Shadow
When the day dawns sunny after weeks of rain, you get out and take a picture of it.

Spring Planting
On Saturday afternoon, some volunteers from the Stratford Urban Farming Experiment came over to turn over the bed and plant the early seeds.
The work goes so much faster when you have help!

The Weekly Breakfast Break in the Weather Edition
It’s been raining steadily all week, with more due starting tomorrow.
But today dawned sunny and warm. We knew what we had to do.

Daffodils
We were away last year when the daffodils bloomed in our front lawn, so we’re doubly happy to see them now.
Don’t they look like they’re searching for something?

The Weekly Breakfast Road Trip Edition
We’re heading down to see Alan’s Dad this weekend. So we’ve got yumminess for tomorrow morning, pasta salad for lunch and some Shreddies to be bolted on the way out the door.
Hope you all have a delicious weekend!

Is There Anything Sadder Than Snow on a Brand New Barbeque?

Hyacinths for the Soul
In sheltered spots with a sunny exposure, a new season stirs.
If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft,
And from thy slender store two loaves alone to thee are left,
Sell one, and with the dole
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.Moslih Eddin Saadi
Gulistan (Garden of Roses)
Flowers in the Window
Just up from York Street Kitchen, painted flowers brighten the window of The Clay Cafe no matter what the weather.
The Annex Room
Out front of The Annex Room, they’re using icicle pansies and pussy willow branches to give us a taste of spring.
