Spring around the corner?

It was a warm and sunny day.
Spring was near, cause there were a ton of open houses this weekend.
In and around our area the houses are going for over 500G's.
I forget how much this house was. But it had an above ground pool at the back and it's own driveway and even a garage.
How you get into the garage with a car. I'm not sure, but the real estate agent says the owner has. How?



And check what I found. This was our old desk from 30+ years ago.

You should see this house. The old lady who's selling it. Who also happens to be selling her car that is missing a side view mirror and scratched up on one side. She grew up in the house and never left. I think the contractor who built her garage didn't read the plan right.




Anyways, we also saw some new builds too. These town homes in this old building on Annette, that we were always curious about. 2700 sqft. $599,000. Hmmm...Pretty nice, but seems awfully high for a skinny house.

The end unit that's right on Annette. Is going for get this. $799,000. Ho boy.

Man that's a lot of coin. Albeit, nice place, with level floors, and pretty nice upgrades. But still.

Check this out. We went by Old mill and walked around. We actually had to drive to another location to get down to the paths along the Humber. This happens every spring. First time I've ever seen it.
I thought it was the next Ice Age.



All the ice that was on the river, had been pushed up on shore. Here the parking lot is completely covered in ice. It'll melt eventually, but what a mess, trees uprooted, dirt and rocks everywhere. Imagine it a million years ago when all of this was covered in ice kilometers thick.

It's more shocking than the fact that Derrick still wears clothes from 1987.
