I had an unexpected opportunity to escape this week and will be back home on Jan 1st

See you all next year!

the figures are black on a yellow background

the linky will be up until Thursday afternoon

winter cupcakes

the link will be open until mid afternoon Thursday.

24 hours

all 'unauthorized vehicles' - meaning if this is not your plate number, then go away.

but don't you go away, there is lots of other signs to see.

visit each other and have fun.

the linky will be open for 24 hours until Thursday afternoon (NY/Toronto time)
I am noticing that, apart from me, most people have moved on by then and I hate to think other participants are disappointed at the lack of visitors if they link up later.

kittens

just don't do it

boo!

for those who have little ones trick or treating, stay safe. it will be raining here.

shoot

I am imagining all kinds of target practice taking place in this garbage room

Each Thursday

Thursdays are special in this Toronto neighbourhood,

except during the winter months.

enjoy our garden

found by a riverside home in a small town

sunshine and oranges

license plates in the US and Canada have gone artsy in the last few years 

and now they seem to be advertising their websites as well!

flags

naming neighbourhoods

these banners seem to be popping up everywhere in most cities and towns. 

this one points out that you are at the 5 Points where Dunlop, Bayfield and Clappison Streets 

all meet in downtown Barrie.

welcome mat

a chalk drawing welcome mat... with instructions to tweeters

best baa

no vendors here

Toronto is very restrictive when it come to street food carts.

horse power

how you can tell you have left the big city

celebration seating

I hope Mardie had many good outings on this park bench

chapter and verse

I took this picture because it looked like a new sign with a much more detailed graphic.

the older signs had a dog inside a circle with a line running diagonally across it to indicate no dogs could run loose. now I see it also has more detailed wording which has changed from the usual 'municipal by-law xxx-xx' variety

some of you dog lovers may even be able to identify the breed.

frosting

pay attention to the signs

fitt

on your mark, get moving....

forecast

it is a bit cooler today....

get help

caution

heed the warning, or you'll be sorry and itchy.

heat alert

do adults still need a memo to be reminded of these obvious facts?

unity

will you have enough money in the future?

local heroes

the city of Owen Sound has these banners throughout 

the downtown street celebrating their local heroes.

signs of pride.

I scream for

does ice cream make you happy?

doors open

does your town or area have a Doors Open?

visitors allowed free access to buildings usually not open to the public 

(or free access to museums and cultural sites) 

celebrating our architectural heritage.

menu

this is what happens when sunlight hits the digital menu board....

please can we have the old fashioned menus?

signs

polar

days are numbered

food drive

it is never too late to donate

I am away on holidays this week, but will visit everyone when I can.

in the meantime, have fun with your signs

stop

and read

superior

and don't challenge me!

unfortunately, I forgot to take note of what they were superior at...

i heart ....

bring your monkeys and giraffes

sweetness

who wants a cupcake?

he really wants to come home

bags and bags of milk

for those of you who saw past the big truck of potato chips and wondered about the 'bag milk' on the sign...

it seems to be a peculiarly, though not exclusively, Ontario way of selling milk. 4 litres in three bags.

and the bags are great for reuse as freezer bags.

have a chip...

try stopping at one, I dare you!

one might think this truck was full of potatoes with a little man inside slicing them into thin chips,

spry ... or not

I did a double take - and a u-turn - when I saw this sign

you have a choice of nimble...or dead.

be wise

Groundhog Day

stating the obvious

Mr Linky account is expiring, so I am trying something new
it has an extra step which is annoying, but let me know.
