Mar 16 2020 - Rainy Day Crafts

It is going to be a rainy day for a few weeks for all of us and what might we do to beat the boredom of staying indoors.  Just hop over to Martha Stewart, who is full of rainy day ideas. Supersize your colouring First buy some crayons - do this quickly.  Then buy some supersize paper.  Now start your supersized colouring. Grow Crystal Egg Geodes An easy science project - with eggs.  Buy eggs. Here are the ingredients:   Alum powder White glue Small paintbrush Plastic or glass container Egg dye Hot water Craft stick or spoon Latex gloves Drying rack or newspaper Follow the instructions HERE. Play Indoor Hopscotch Buy a hop scotch mat or a large roll of paper.  Lay out the hopscotch mat and start hopping. DIY Playdough Time to whip up your own batch of playtime clay.  It is in your kitchen pantry (!). The rest is in your hands. Make Memory Jars That memorabilia piled up from your last family trip? Collect everything -- ticket stubs, photos, small souvenirs, etc. -- and curate them into a small handheld jar. Knitting, macrame, dyeing, sewing, appliquéing... so many ideas from Martha Stewart. We're looking at variations of One Bloor - the new 60-storey tower at Yonge and Bloor on the South East side. It used to be One Bloor East.  I wonder what they will call the other side - that used to be One Bloor West and will be a monster tower too. I don't understand how there are balconies to the top. Could a person blow away in the wind?  I took the virtual tour of the penthouse to see what it looks like from the balcony - probably don't show it to not scare anyone of the height.

Strassburg Railway

Our visit to Strassburg in May 2014 was a rainy one.  There were flash flood warnings throughout the surrounding area.  So I thought you'd enjoy seeing the rain in these pictures taken in the railway yard.
