Windfields Park, an 83-acre area in North York, Toronto, has an intriguing history as a former golf course and equestrian estate.

Young trees sit next to a tent that reads "toronto.ca/treegrants".

Fall is a great time to add a native tree or shrub to your property 🪴

We've partnered with Arbor Day Foundation to provide Toronto residents with native trees and shrubs for free.

Good morning, Skeethearts ☀️ 🔥 ✨️ 💖

Has Michael Kay considered error differential as a determinant of team performance? (Regretting not getting this question to you ahead of this week’s Deep Left Field)

@torontomike.com what segment of the waterfront does the BIA represent?

If Estrada can hold down the Angels the rest of this inning Estrada will get some hero consideration for saving the bullpen

It's depressing to live in a city that has given up. I visited the R.C. Harris water treatment plant today, and it is immaculate and stunning. Every detail thoughtfully and beautifully designed, and looking as good today as when it was built. How far we have fallen. urbantoronto.ca/news/2023/06...

Thanks for the reminder to get photos while out cycling. I passed through there about 8am on the way to Port Credit. Listened to the Dr. Cliff Redford KOTJ episode 1695. What a great view. #biketo

Great job @torontomike.com reminding CNN viewers that Canada is fiercely independent much like the podcast and #GreatLakesBrewery

Sharing an important message about the gift economy, reciprocity and abundance through a wonderful metaphor of the Serviceberry plant.

Floral garden finds in May

Simple neuroscience-based hack for anxiety:
🌿go & be in a place with plants & trees for 15 mins
🌳You'll inhale plant oils(phytoncides) from foliage
📉your stress hormone(cortisol) will drop significantly

Many of our brain pathways evolved to motivate us to forage for plants-they're still very active

Given this is a City staff report what is thinking behind the Metrolinx proposal? DRT serves STC. GO occupied several bays before being displaced. How many total bays are proposed? It reads as if the “development” decreases the overall space - suggesting the ttc needs to do more with less.

@wilnerness.bsky.social I was at the ballpark and didn’t see the replay showing Ernie running through the stop sign. Holding myself to higher standards on Bluesky I’ll admit I’m wrong. In the alternate universe where Ernie holds let’s hope the trailing runners retreat leaving Bo with the bases full

There would be an out one way or another. Three base runners. Two bases. Could Straw get back to first before being tagged?

Kirk had a sacrifice fly. That counts against on base. It is excluded from the batting average.

Great question Matt about transit priority. There was no shortage of time for the City and TTC to contemplate what they will do. What is their answer for how to learn from the mistakes on St Clair?

In the meantime let’s plan for service alerts for turn backs west of Don Mills for various reasons.

Paging @spaikin.bsky.social for correction that writs are "drawn". It's amusing to be reminded of this from time to time on #onpoli with @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social

Great chat with @wilnerness.bsky.social - particularly the discussion about X. Recently got a new phone and have not installed X. You’ve convinced me to close the account. It’s the right thing to do.

Here’s some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky It’s not just an Alf pics repository.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.

Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

Glad to see he found success in his first game as a Red Sox. Wishing him all the success the remainder of the season.

Great event. First time to St Mary’s. Grateful that my two daughters could get a photo with Ashley Stephenson…. made their day.

A bat hanging out of reach above the dugout aptly describes the 2024 jays.

Thank goodness for Bassitt bailing out the offence by retrieving said bat. A mostly true description of the 2024 jays.

At what point do the coaching additions be subjected to scrutiny over the ineffective offense?

If the offseason plan was to improve with changes off the field, what’s the outlook for when to expect a better outcome on the field?

The TTC needs metrics to budget decisions. Subway travel time…. You are not imagining it: it’s slower to get to your destination.

State of good repair, capital budget backlog… whatever the reason let’s translate what budget decisions mean into meaningful outcomes

Another good episode with local journalists with their finger on the pulse of Toronto issues.

I renewed my Spacing subscription after listening to this. Thanks John.

Home runs are clearly overrated.
