First loaf since the finger injury in January. I’m back!

Poilievre’s staff see his Stampede get up for the first time.

Belgium 🇧🇪 won and then went trolling 🤣

This is a really good piece. medium.com/@john.berlin...

Oh Canada dear Canada…what she said. youtu.be/pOKESEtmhis?...

Happy Canada Day! I’ll be over on Gander if you’re looking for me.

Canadians! I’m now available on Gander give me a follow if ya like. gander.social/profile/doug...

Some one is 4 today. Happy Birthday Lily!

And so ends garden tour day. Many if the visitors were butterflies.

c.org/2T8fs4cmsd It’s not just unacceptable. In the cold soulless world of business it’s investor repellent.

So Pierre Poilivere and his trolls can now shut up because someone who actually knows what a recession is has cleared things up. We were never in a recession. Anyone with even a casual knowledge of economics and ears understood that weeks ago.

The new reads have arrived. My first pair. Ive worn glasses for distance since I was about 15.

This isn’t helpful Harry. Comparing the cost to fly a second plane full of cars to airport taxes isn’t not a fair comparison. I know people are complaining about the catering bill but comparing warehousing food to flight costs is comparing two entirely different line items on the bills.

From yesterday in the garden.

I recorded this song a long time ago. After I posted it I got a message from a girl (she was in her teens) who lived in Iran. She told me how she and her friends would dance to it. I was kind of surprised because I didn’t think they had access to the internet www.reverbnation.com/dougsmith/so...

Today we sauce tomorrow. WE CAN!

Good news! No sorry not that. I am the proud owner of 10 fingers again. The digit I tried to shorten has healed and the Doctor Ed..who is not a horse…says it’s healed up and good to go. Just have some exercises to do loosen up the knuckles so I can play guitar again!

Good evening from the garden.

Happy Birthday! To my pal Bob who is off camping and likely well into the GnT

I’m disappointed to hear that one of the fighters who won’t be fighting tomorrow night because of the storm ( that’s a fuck you from god Dana if you believe is such things) is Canadian. Granted no one outside his bedroom has any idea who he is.

Hey @timethridge2.bsky.social Your watermelons are in the ground in Canada.

It’s 9:50. Do you know where your neighbour is? Yes! Inexplicably he’s on his tractor plowing the road. Which will do nothing to keep the dust down.

So how’s your evening going? Not bad for a Wednesday I must say.

You’ll just have to imagine all the bird song. Glass of Merlot by #tinhorncreek

Had a chat with the doctor. Playing guitar again is a long way off. Reach’s for the mandolin.

Miss these folks. We had a hell of a good time. #TantalusPass

My wife is a big Rush fan so it was damn decent if them to kick off their tour on her birthday. They got the city wrong but ya know..it happens. They like a big room.

Ok I’m prepared to take one for the team. I’ll play the American 250th thing for $30 million which I’ll use to put a bunch of Canadian kids through Ag/trade/art school and make sure they have homes. But I’m only playing one song and dedicated to Janine Pirro. Here it is. youtu.be/HkqlRZrorJM?...

I’m no expert but I don’t think they grade these things on a pass/fail basis.

Just started reading this, chapter 5 when Stalin disparages and then imprisons a scientist and hands the institute he built to a sketchy scientist whose theories he prefers in spite of the scientist he’s locked up being hailed globally for his work, has disturbing echoes of recent events.

Good evening from the garden friends.

Timeline cleanse. The Van Gogh Iris is in bloom!

American farmers you are not gonna like this. American Vegan’s you probably won’t either but for different reasons. youtube.com/shorts/G5NJY...

Canadians! Let me know if you are on Gander or one if the other Canadian platforms and if I’m there too I’ll give you a follow. 🇨🇦

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

Timeline cleanse. A short walk in the valley with Lily and I.

New patio with old pavers.

foodtank.com/news/2026/05... American friends here’s a list of the attacks Trump, Kennedy et al have made on your Agriculture, food and health in the last year. Imagine shutting down a program to save Salmon in the pacific because you’re so screwed up you think that’s “radical environmentalism.”

These old stairs are my favourite part of the garden. They look best in black and white. At some point I’m going to have to fix them up neither are a bit dodgy but I not now. #gardening 🇨🇦🌱

I’ve wanted to play this song live for about 40 years just because I want to play the end of it on stage. youtu.be/N9uyT11vXPw?...

@timethridge2.bsky.social Hi Tim. Little update on the seeds you gave me. Today we sent some off to be grown by AVI Health in Nanaimo B.C.They work with folks dealing with mental health issues,people living with HIV etc in Nanaimo and part of that is a healing garden.Your seeds are doing good buddy

The mock oranges at our front door are bee crack. I wish I had a better handle on IDing the wee beasties because there’s a number of different models getting their orange on.

Tea drinkers heres a #buyCanadian Alert! westholmetea.com A Canadian company growing, importing from around the world ( except from..well you know) and blending wonderful teas in Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. We paid them a visit the other day and met Victor the owner. We had a good chat
