Getting our roof fixed

We are getting new shingles on our roof  (July 2021 : last time we put shingles was October 2006) 
The workers took a break today (rain)
They had left their roofing stuff lying around and I was fascinated by these 'golden' nails lying there in the rain and took a few photos

Stacks at 28, Bathurst st, Toronto July 24, 2021

 Had planned to visit today, one of two provincial parks: Arrowhead Provincial Park or Rockpoint Provincial Park However the forecast of rain, deterred us from making the 100-200km long trip for hiking and instead we went to the Junction Farmers market at Baird Park, Keele street and Stackt, a shipping container market at 28, Bathurst street at the Front and Bathurst intersection

We then bought our lunch at Farm Boy opposite Stackt and drove to Lake Ontario and ate it on the beach, enjoying the view 

Had a lovely time  Here are a few photos  of Stackt 

Stackt  is a market place built of shipping containers  and sort of unique for that reason

There's a brewery  There are restaurants which have interesting  outdoor seating and you will know what I mean by interesting if you see the photos  

There are shops selling unique designer stuff and at least for today (I think today was the Leslieville market folks here) there were artists selling items they had made jewelry, clothes, etc
















































Above : lunch at Lake Ontario near the swimming pool near exhibition place maybe

Above .   by some miracle, a sunflower plant has grown right by this lake!

You guys should check out Stackt,,,it's definitely worth a visit, especially if you are considering having some drinks and food and hanging out under the sun, in the city,,, relaxing with your loved ones
