To me, this seems like a “throw back” to the 1950s. A red truck that slowly cruises the streets with its bell ringing. This particular truck was located near Melville Avenue.

I can imagine this business starting, many years ago, with people using a push cart, then a horse and wagon, finally ending up what it is today.

Leucanthemum – Melville Avenue

I couldn’t resist taking this picture of a “cheerful” patch of daises in a garden on Melville Avenue.

From Wikipedia:

“The name Leucanthemum derives from the Greek words λευκός – leukos (“white”) and ἄνθεμον – anthemon (“flower”).”
