The start of patio season.












There's nothing better than enjoying happy hour with amazing girlfriends and some white peach bellinis in hand. The weather finally got warm enough for us to enjoy the lovely patios of downtown Toronto, starting with the Milestone's at Yonge-Dundas Square. Sharing some appetizers and the especially delicious seafood salad, we caught up and laughed our way into the evening. [Last picture taken from lunch on the Apricot Tree Cafe patio with my best friend Livia. Unfortunately I brought my camera without the memory card, hence the poor quality photos from my Blackberry]. It's Victoria Day for the weekend for the Canadians! What do you all have planned? I hope the rain stays away so fireworks can still happen!

O man those drinks look so good. I've never been on the patio at Milestones DT. Too bad the rest of the weekend isn't nice like it is today. I went to the beach for the afternoon then went shopping DT. Rain will keep most likely keep me at home for the rest of the weekend. Enjoy the rest of your weekend Becky.

Great photos, you are making me super jealous ;) Dining on a patio is one of favorite thing to do in the summer. I would love to see more of your pics! Milestones at Y&D never fails! Ps. Do check out Max's but I would not recommend going on a weekend.

Lovely photos. :D Looks like an amazing day!!

yeah, totally agree with you. Producers should pick them up immediately. But sometimes, the magic gets lost when a band goes professional. That's so sad!

Hi Becky,
Thanks so much for commenting on my blog, it really means a lot! And I'm so happy because now I get to read yours (I'm following too). Yeah, I painted my header with water colour pencils and then scanned it in. It was a bit of a process....I'm actually wanting to get a new header and a new name for my blog- but if you like the water colour I might do that again! Where are you from? These photos looks so beautiful and sunny...I'm jealous! x x x
