It's nearly 100 years old, but this tool is still the best way to remove raspberry seeds when you are making jam.

My pumpkin pie recipe takes a long time to make. I've started working on it 😂 #gardenersofbluesky

Things are coming along in the garden. Zucchini blooming, tomatoes forming! #vegetable #garden

Bryan Adams comes through with a new banger tune www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyyF...

A good morning picking raspberries at my allotment. Time to make some jam! #garden #allotment

Canada Day celebrations on CBC. I love my country. Celebrating Rick Hansen & his work to highlight accessibility in Canada, Alessia Cara singing a banger, Speakers in French, Inuktitut, many Indigenous languages, English. People talking about how we can disagree discuss & compromise. We're so lucky

Happy Canada Day!

Allotment garden

Garden tour. I'll post an allotment tour another day. And some pics of my deck veg. I may need a veg garden intervention.

Some visitors stopped by

I think I'm going to need a few more tomato cages... #garden

One of the perks of growing your own garlic is that you get to feast on garlic scapes! Me, not the cats 😂 #garden #cats

Digging over a fallow bed. Quick break for lunch, then time to get planting!

The allotment is planted. Still need to repair the corn cage, and tie back some raspberry canes, but happy with what I've got done.

Picked these beauties from the garden this morning

@mayoroliviachow.ca What about 1000 $50 World Cup Tickets for Torontonians?

Area government says city needs longer runway so magic money can fall safely from sky.

Got my beets, carrots, parsnips, chard, and kale in. Last weekend I put in 3 different apple varieties, a sweet cherry, and 2 hardy peaches, all pruned to Ann Ralph specifications to keep them small and easy to harvest. #gardening

Deer My Friends My goverments bin so busy pertecting Ontario we axidentally bought a privutt jet but I am for the people and I like to jump in my truck and go talk to regular folks so I desided I don't need a jet and now that we got caught with it we will sell it for parts like Ontario. Premair

The garlic is coming along nicely!

Praying Mantis egg sacks in my raspberry canes! Natural pest control.

On this day in 1746 the Battle of Culloden was fought.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This is Rufus. He's 12. I got him as a young feral stray from northern Ontario. He'd already learned that people are cruel. With time, my son and I showed him that he could trust us, that we would keep him safe. He picked his people, there are only 4 of us in this world that merited his love. 🧵

Doug Ford desperately wants to be liked and has reversed course on some of his decisions when there is enough pushback from the public. Please call and leave him a message to let him know how you feel about this latest attempt to hide the truth from Ontarians. Doug Ford ☎️: 416 325-1941

Keep those crocus pics coming! This is my reality 😢 No spring flowers here!

Friday night is all about being cosy #cats

Watching the Canada USA women's hockey battle for gold and eating popcorn like it's my job. 3 min left🫣

Go Canada GO!

Wow.

I made a cookie assortment to bring as a gift for Lunar New Year to my son's girlfriend's parents. We met for the first time as things are getting very serious between our kids. They were just as lovely and welcoming as their daughter. It is a new culture for me, and I am learning so much ❤️

Pierre Poilievre refuses to get national security clearance. Very sus, as my 8-year old students would say. Bruce Fanjoy has sponsored a petition which calls on all party leaders to have a security clearance. Please sign the petition and share it far and wide. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Window buddies. #dogsofbluesky #catsofbluesky

It's cold as hell, -20 even before the wind chill. Just bought my garbage collection guys coffees to help them keep warm. A brutal job for them today, plus the snow is piled high. Hard thankless work.

Unimaginable that Catherine O'Hara has died.

"Except in Manitoba the question is going to be 'do you want to stay a part of Canada?' and the two choices are going to be yeah and heck yeah." Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew weighs in on the conversations around Alberta's potential referndum on sovereignty.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Trump belittles the contributions of the Canadian Armed Forces. Canada sent over 40,000 troops to Afghanistan after 9/11, a horrifying tragedy that had been perpetrated against our closest allies. 158 Canadian soldiers died there, AND THE FIRST 4 DIED WHEN THE USA DROPPED A BOMB ON THEM BY MISTAKE.

My seeds have all arrived! Apart from seed potatoes and a few other things that I don't start from seed, this represents everything that I will eat in the next year. #gardening #vegetables

Lots of great books this Christmas, particularly excited to start this one @neilbuttery.bsky.social

“The legislature sat for just 51 days in 2025.” Please remember this the next time teachers’ contracts expire and Doug Ford, Paul Calandra, and the rest of the PCs try to tell the public that we are lazy and entitled. Enjoy your 102-day winter break, Doug. #OntEd #OnPoli

Little Ricky is helping hang the Christmas garland. I use the term loosely. #caturday #catsofbluesky #gingercat

Hanging out with the family

Happy #caterday from Malcolm, Greta, and Little Ricky!

Too young for WW1, too old for WW2, my grandfather lied about his age and went off to fight for our freedom. We owe them a debt that cannot be repaid, except by holding the line that they drew in the sand. #lestweforget #remembranceday #Canada

25 pounds of parsnips, not a bad harvest! #gardenersofbluesky #vegetarian

Little Ricky, always showing up to help with the dishes just as I finish 😂 #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #gingercat
