3 summers in this house and I’m still not used to the apples in my back yard being ripe this early.

I’m hard on city council a lot but credit where it’s due, the new bridge connecting NE Edmonton to Fort Sask rules. The north side rarely gets the shiny new thing but this just allowed me to bike River valley trails from my house all the way to Freson Bros for pizza

The rootbeer float ice cream from Kind is incredible and I regret not buying more than one pint.

First gotcha day for Willow! She got a nice dinner, a good walk for some dessert and I think she’s having a pretty good day

Sometimes a staycation day is necessary

Can you tell that my dog loves new tennis ball day?

Some people watch the news and hear that Poilievre thinks our electoral system is under attack, but what I hear is that Poilievre doesn’t think his base can read

Fuck it, I’m going to paint my exterior doors sunshiney yellow

It’s wild seeing right wing comedians be like “I didn’t vote for this!” after they watch the Trump admin do exactly what they said they would do. Not only did they vote for it, they endorsed it fully. They can sit in their shit now and hopefully reflect on what they use their platforms for. Losers.

We never actually bought a nice table in our bonus room when we moved in but our $30 one was finally breaking so we decided to go look around for a good one. Ended up scoring a $600 table for $150 because we stopped into The Brick Outlet right when they were starting a flash sale on coffee tables 🙂

Last year when I chose plants for my garden, my mom told me to buy this Ligularia for a shady corner even though the care instructions said it wants full sun. She swore to me that full sun was a lie. It’s the biggest plant in my garden this year by a mile. Moms know best. *iced tea can for scale

FYI If anyone was interested in going on the Edmonton Riverboat but didn’t want to pay $75 for the buffet, you can get Cruise only tickets now and if you use code NEWSLETTER0628 before the end of July 1st, your ticket is half price. It’s a good opportunity to be a tourist in your own city 💁🏻‍♀️

Nature gifted me a poppy growing under my deck?! Moved her to my front garden bed, please wish her luck in her new home

This is what the Oilers get for not hiring us all as GMs

When my dog isn’t getting exactly what she wants, she throws herself on floor and lightly sobs

Having a mom who works at Home Depot is dangerous because sometimes she rolls up to your house with a trunk full of hostas that she got for $3 because they were “slightly damaged”

Oettinger is just way nicer than I would be lol. If my coach humiliated me in game, then blamed a series loss on me all while knowing I was battling respiratory issues, my season end presser would be the roast of Pete DeBoer.

Honestly nothing is going to shock me anymore today because I’ve already seen the price tag on this cactus at Canadian Tire

I found this weird ass lady bug in my yard and now you all need to see it otherwise no one would believe me

The new Dan Mangan album is perfect. No notes. The kind of music you want playing when you’re having a peaceful morning coffee.

STUUUUUU

I just assumed he was already in there and now I’m so offended that he’s not lol

Criticizing Stu Skinner =/= wanting him to fail.

Had a nice day on the deck eating ice cream sundaes with my mom. I told her to come for noon so that we could put on the Montreal PWHL game. The game is still going, she had to leave for dinner lol

One of my favourite things in comedy is Nathan Fielder accidentally getting someone to say something completely unhinged and then just being like “okay”

*this* close to building a little free library at my house. Sourcing materials and everything lol

❤️

Frozen carrots are popsicles for dogs

I get irrationally angry when election candidates don’t pick up their signs in a timely manner. At this point they’re just littering in the community they claimed to be so passionate about.

There are SO MANY chonky bees outside recently. I love them.

Having a morning coffee on my flowery deck is just the best. I love it here.

Took the day off for my birthday and made the irresponsible decision to go plant shopping unsupervised. BUT LOOK AT THESE PETUNIAS I FOUND

@eissyrc.bsky.social Home Depot has their mandevillas already!

I actually hate Kuemper right now lol

Explaining the Canadian election using hockey

A coworker of mine became a citizen last year so this was his first election. I asked him about it, he said he was too excited to wait for today so he stopped into the advanced polls. He had his 3 year old daughter with him, she brought her own paper and pretended to vote along side him lol

Good day to vote and eat free ice cream

All I want out of this election is a high voter turnout and a sad Poilievre.

Oh I’m supposed to go to sleep now?

I got this pot on sale and I think it’s cute as heck so now you have to look at it

In today’s game of “let’s be creative to save money” I got 10 burgers out of $5 worth of ground pork today and they ruled.

Sprinkler day for this doggo

All these people deciding they no longer support Trump because he *checks notes* Did exactly what he said he’d do

I’m being dramatic but we needed to fire the GM the second he said that goal tending wasn’t a priority lol

Sitting Skinner for Kane is probably dumb

The oilers deserved to lose that game and they did but they almost didn’t so do with that what you will

You couldn’t count this team out for anything last season. Now they give up one or two goals, and then just look like they’re defeated and don’t hate to lose. I didn’t expect a game 7 cup final but I at least would like to see an effort here

You know how uninspired this team has to be to make me turn off a playoff game? This uninspired, to be exact.
