My mom would have turned 100 today. She did make it to almost 90. 💙🩵💙

🍽️ 🍜 Saw this Advent calendar mentioned on Bluesky this morning and with a bit of searching discovered my London Drugs still has some for $31 off!! So I have now opened 7 windows and am extremely pleased with myself ☺️.

🍽️ 🍜 For 10 years after my best friend died, I visited her mother in Vancouver twice/year and we became friends. Paula is now in a home with dementia but she used to make these “cheesies” and would serve them with a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc in the late afternoon when I arrived. Good memories 🥰

We’ve been trying to identify a bird at our feeder and I think this is it! 🙌🏼

If you're American and don't know the details, The gunman, angry about women in science, went into a lecture hall and told the men and women to stand on opposite sides of the room. He told the men to leave, they did, then he shot the women. He continued through the building just shooting women.

🍽️ 🍜 I don’t think this sounds particularly promising, but I have all the ingredients (including a lot of onions and carrots), and getting extra veggies into us will be good especially at this time of year, so I’m giving it a try!

Something different for #showmeyourknits . I knit 🧶 Christmas lights inspired garland for my bannisters.

Hatching a plan to do a daily swim challenge next year. Maybe May to end of September? I’d love to find companions. 🏊‍♀️

What was the number 1 movie 🎥 s the year when you were 5 years old? Drop the name and gif below. Mine is the Sound if Music, 1965 #fridayfun

I recently discovered frozen (and then thawed) tofu and it's INCREDIBLE. Definitely one of my favorite things to cook with now, and I keep at least two blocks in my freezer at all times. 12/10, would recommend if you haven't tried it yet! 🍜

Birdwatching from the comfort of the armchair 😹

I’m so sick 🤧 that I don’t even have the energy to dig around in the freezer for the chicken soup I made for exactly this moment 😞.

On the move: a coyote story (2025) #ArtAdventCalendar #Photography

I wish someone would start a news network with no Trump news. It's very difficult to find out what is happening in the world without being bombarded with the buffoon's news.

Here’s Bubba who used the cat tree (moved to make room for the Christmas tree) to get closer to our sculpture, Edgar, created by @slavocech.bsky.social

This really made me laugh out loud 🤣

🍽️ 🍜

The encounter that took what was already a great #BearSeason2025 right over the top. Arctic foxes are not the easiest to find around Churchill so getting to spend time with this cutie who is still changing into their winter coat was amazing. #mammals 🌿

Along the fence-line. I usually focus my camera on wildlife, but I also can’t resist a striking landscape view #ArtAdventCalendar

While out walking yesterday, we passed this young fella at the side of the path just lying there chewing and watching us mostly nonchalantly #Penticton

Is anyone else in Canada frustrated with trying to watch all the episodes of All Her Fault? We did a free trial of Stack TV (garbage streaming service) and it got us to episode 5…. 😩

🍽️ 🍜 I bought a cabbage today for $10.68 😳

Breakfast with the neighbors. #birds 🌿

We really try to shop locally instead of ordering from you-know-where, but wandering aisle after aisle in Canadian Tire and Rona and not finding what you want (or anyone to help you find it) is so demoralizing and exhausting 😞.

I love our wild wreath. Added a blue jay this year! 🪶

Good morning lovely people! Have some flowers to brighten up the last Friday of November!

From the pier. “Seas” the day. 😎

I think we could all use a polar bear cuddle pile to brighten up our timeline. These two cubs are about 11 months old and will stay with mom until 2.5-3 years. #BearSeason2025 #Mammals 🌿

🍽️ So many great contributors to What’s Cooking, but we could really use more. (Sometimes it’s the only place I want to go on Bluesky)

Peak swan attitude. #Photography #Animals #Wildlife #Birds #Swan #Lake #UK

Yup, the trade war on its own would not deter travel much, I don’t think… it’s the threats to make Canada the 51st state and the attacks on vulnerable populations and immigrants that are keeping me away

I love when Dom keeps me company in the living room 🥰

I suddenly seem to not be having hot flashes anymore 🙌🏼. Am I wrong to be hopeful that I’m done with them for good?

Can anyone identify these mushrooms growing in my lawn? I was hoping to make some soup 😉 🌱

🍽️🍜 Success with take 2 🙌🏼

Everyone debates the merits of the spatchcock, but I'm here to tell you: consider cutting the halves of the turkey off the carcass, dry brining the meat, and roasting the carcass to make your stock for gravy and other dishes (like dressing/stuffing) ahead of time. 🍽️🍜
