Montreal’s West Island faces flood aftermath as thousands remain without power #ClimateChange #Rain #Flood #Montreal #Weather www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

“Litha” is the name given to the Wiccan Sabbat celebrated at the Summer #Solstice. This is the longest day & shortest night of the year; from here on out, the Sun will set a little earlier each night until Yule, and so we recognize and give thanks for its warmth.

June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day! A special occasion for Canadians – #Indigenous, non-Indigenous, and newcomers – to reflect on and celebrate the history, #heritage, #culture and diversity of #FirstNations, #Inuit, and #Métis peoples across the country.

Thor came for a quick visit! A wall of #rain hit very quickly, followed by nearby #lightning strikes including one that possibly hit one of the taller apt buildings across the way - was so loud/nearby that I actually felt the vibrations in the couch i was sitting on!! #Montreal #Storm #Weather

I’m never crazy about #Mondays, but every few weeks, my favourite art conservator releases a new video on Mondays. I’ve been enjoying Julian Baumgartner’s work for many years and love his gentle style and mellow voice - very relaxing! #Art #ArtConservation #ArtRestoration

Ugh. It's Monday again. (📷: JJ Botha) #BlueMonday #Mondays #Feline #Cub #WildlifePhotography

Today would have been my Daddy's 105th birthday! It's been 22 years since he left us, and there are days that I still miss him *so* very much, as he was such a wonderful and supportive father to me. ❤ Love you forever Daddy! ❤

Remember to stop and sniff the flowers… 💐

Been thinking of setting up my parasol on my tiny patio. However, I just read about the upcoming major Squall Watch (up to 80km gusts) for this evening/till tomorrow morning. (I’m at the blue dot) I think, mayhaps, that it would be a good idea to put it off for a better day! #Montreal #weather

Wishing all the Mothers, Grandmas, Step-Moms, Foster Moms, Adoptive Moms, Mother Figures, and even the Moms of furry critters -- a most wonderful Mothers's Day! Also a special thought to those Mothers who are no longer with us, but who will always hold a special place in their children's hearts.

💐 For all the “Others” on this Mother’s Day… 💐 #MothersDay #Motherhood

This will be my 3rd Mother’s Day without my beloved Mom. Several of my friends have also lost parents in the past few years as well. It doesn’t magically get easier; but the sharpness of the pain gradually eases. Sometimes, sharing with others can make it more bearable. #MotherlessDay #MothersDay

😡 Frustrated with yet another package delivery issue! Received email notification that they delivered it to an incorrect address with photo proof. Contacted the courier; but I doubt that they'll be able to "retrieve it" as they mentioned, especially if they just dumped it in a lobby! Arrgh!

I love this so much, as it reminds me of when I lived in Dorval 20 years ago; our backyard came with 3 stunningly gorgeous Peony bushes. One was a brilliant white, another a pastel pink, and the last was a deep almost fuchsia pink.
