Neighbours Across the Way, #watercolour and #ink in paper Having a very unsuccessful yardsale but its give me time to contemplate how lovely the neighbours yard is. My first #pleinair painting and probably the loosest #urbansketch I've done yet. #blueskyart #fredericton #newbrunswick

Happy Independence Day to my kids and others on here still celebrating.

Happy #Canada Day for all my fellow Canadians!🇨🇦 I'm working some overtime today (thanks Trump for trashing the economy and turning basic food into a luxury commodity!) so hoping someone will have double the fun for me today!

None of these pictures are mine, but I really hope someone shares these with Trump. May not have even been Canadians either, tons of international visitors here for #FIFA and the list of countries Trump is insulting is mighty long. This is the damage on the #American image Trump is causing.

So I guess my kids remain US citizens, for now. Question remains if they want or should keep it. U.S. Supreme Court rules against Trump executive order on birthright citizenship | CBC News share.google/fPz4gmfBAdOs...

Lobster, 2026 #watercolour and #ink A summertime favourite in these parts. Painted for a friend. #lobster #newbrunswick #blueskyart #art

Before I moved her I was chronically addicted to yoga. I had instructors like this.

I recently got Netflix back after dumping post US elections (soon dumping again cos who can afford it in this economy). I normally avoid romance like the plague, but this has me HOOKED. I dont know if it's the unusual sisters-doing-for-themselves story or the broody handsome protagonist

One of THE BEST death scenes in cinematic i wont say who for spoilers, of course, but you'll know its Class A acting when you see it.

For the very "extroverted" people who keep attempting to friend me, understand that consent is a two-way street. You may heartily consent to expose yourself to the world in every angle possible, but my ownership of an account on here in no way should be construed as my consent to look at it. Cheers!

In the midst a surprise visit to ER this morning after my mom took a hard tumble. This hospital has a bad reputation re 24+ wait times but they brought her in within 20 mins. She looks like she duked it out with Mike Tyson but she *seems* okay otherwise.

Cavok Brewing Co. Truck, 2026, #watercolour and #ink on #paper. Another sketch from my recent trip to #Moncton #NewBrunswick I thought this would be a challenge and was it ever! #blueskyart #urbansketching #craftbrewing

I've been feeling very sad (but proud) about my son moving out but sitting in the late night quiet its hit me, the is the first time BOTH of my kids no longer with me and why do I feel so terrified? #empty nest #lonely #tooquiet

Trying to figure out if the community yard sale is still on when you dont have facebook and its the only method of communication here - frustrating

Riverfront Park, #Moncton #NewBrunswick another little scene from my work trip, this time from the park behind the motel #urbansketching #blueskyart #watercolour

A few years ago I was watching Babylon Berlin on Netflix to practice German, but it got pulled from the site before I got to finish. I've discovered recently its available on TéléQuébec, unfortunately in French dub and French subtitles only, it will have to do, I got left on several cliffhangers.

Gallagher's Irish Pub House, #Moncton, #NewBrunswick #watercolour and #ink Work trip this week, pub across from my hotel, sorry for the smearing - trip took a lot out of me and hands are crazy shaking #urbansketching #blueskyart

My son is moving out today, and I'm having a hard time with it, not because he's moving out - he has lived on his own before - its the circumstances and selfishly, with costs rising, it may mean I can't stay in my home. The irony is that it's cheaper than local rent, so not sure where I'm going.

youtube.com/shorts/xT26z... The biggest thing I miss about the US is how CHEAP it is to eat there.

Caretaker burnout is real. My family treats me like the chef, maid, tech guru, accountant, problem solver, shopper… It’s exhausting. This is just a note to say: if you’re a caretaker, please take care of yourself too. You can’t pour from an empty cup. ♥️

This is so delightful

Mama got some new art supplies. #ink lots of ink. This but of ugly art also turned out to be a great excuse on what materials work as resists. #blueskyart #art #nbart

Own Friday, I took my mom, a former quilter, to the #Fredericton #quilt show, these were the standouts, more pics in separate comments...

For the third night this week, I was awoken to the sound of knocking on my door. Last night I heard banging on our front door and I was afraid I locked my son out even though I double checked 2x before I went to bed. The other 2x I thought my mom and brother knocked on my bedroom door. #dreams

Last night's weird #dream was going to a bakery/theatre to buy delicious bonbons and a crowd of people suddenly forming because Shelley Duval was coming, and I was torn with anxiety because the crowd size meant I couldnt leave but also I really wanted to see Ms Duval.

It's official, as of today I'm eligble now for some store senior discounts ... if only I had money to spend lol.

The other day my son convinced me to watch Marty Supreme. I knew Kevin O'Leary was in but I wasn't aware of his principle role. I was shocked at the amount of people praising him his performance - people that I know would "cancel" him if he was carrying on in the US the way he is in Canada.

What you talking about Willis

#MothersDay brunch involved teaching my son to cook blueberry pancakes and bacon. He's moving out at the end of the month (💔). He is high on spectrum and cooking was never his jam. He lived on his own for a few years before and did not eat healthy. He is older & more interesting in changing that.

Expensive but my #MothersDay gift to myself is I'm-to-tired-to-cook charcuterie. Happy Mothers Day to all the mom's out there.

Flower basket - tradition i get for my mother every year.

My son is moving out (💔) and gave me this book. Apparently he thrifted it because I had told him that the film adaptation was one of my favourite #Hitchcock movies. Check out this #coverart! I can guarantee that he or the previous owner never read it. #booksky #book #reading

Well, the first of the promised UAP files have gone live and so far appears to be nothing but the ol' same old same old. Sigh.

I've been seeing this trailer the past few times I've gone to the movies this week and it looks very good and creepy. The powerful vocals featured here are by local son (& my fav) Jeremy Dutcher and was filmed in Nova Scotia. #blueskyfilm #film #firstnations #canada youtu.be/d2D3mFL3Tyg?...

Well, the meal prepping is off to a great start with yesterday's plain bread sandwich and the forgetting my lunch altogether today.

Meal-prepped my lunch for the week. Made five cold cut sammiches. Or so I thought. Today's lunch turned out to be just two pieces of plain bread smashed together.

I rank #vampire movies as a hobby. This week's choice, Rufus, was #canadian content. Who knew there were Vampires in #Saskatchewan? Mostly Cdn actors, some of them big faces south of the border. On some services its called Hunted. #blueskyfilm #film youtu.be/E2yZgji4oas?...

The person next door to us is burning wood & its setting off a crazy anxiety attack. Firstly, because in 2016 & 2022, I lived through fires that left us displaced for months and the smell gives me cold sweats, but also because my neighbour on the other side of me has propane tanks facing our house.

This is playing in the theatres right now - I have no idea if its going to be good, most adaptations are animated & fall short, but this is the other great Orwell novel and perhaps even more fitting for the times than 1984. #blueskyfilm #Orwell #dystopia #socialcommentary
