Visit to The Village Idiot Record Store

My daughter Annie told me about this place and thought I would like it, so I decided to go for a visit.

This store is something of a local London, ON legend, and was supposedly the type of store Stuart McLean had in mind for his Vinyl Cafe stories.

Lots of fun, and I managed to come away with a few records and CDs. Will definitely be making a return trip or two here.

Female Black Swallowtail on Butterfly Bush

A somewhat battered-looking female Black Swallowtail spent a long time fluttering around the butterfly bush in our front yard. Took many pics during her visit.

Male Goldfinch on Feeder

We have a pair of goldfinches who are regular visitors to our backyard feeder. They are very skittish, so it is hard to get a good picture of them. This male goldfinch obliged and stuck around long enough for me to get this shot.

An Early Spring Visit to the Parkway Garden Centre

Dhan and I visited the local Parkdale Nursery earlier today. She was looking for pepper plants, but apparently, we are a few weeks early for that. Still, it was nice to wander around in the huge greenhouse and look at all of the colour on display.
