This was a big impact on my yesterday. Hoping for a better day today but waking for the day at 0330 is not setting me up well I fear.

Best freaking seat in the house!!! #Headpins #Trooper #TomCochrane in da house!!! Vanderhoof is gonna be rocked on its #centennial

I need some serious help in making a decision!! I am doing a #LegitKits project this fall with my guild. I am down to the bear or fox. I have great appreciation of both animals. PLEASE help me choose!! #quilting #guild #paperpiecing #quiltsky

This little duckling came right into my office this afternoon… 🦆 No signs of momma so it was put back into the brush by the ravine.

The ravens 🐦‍⬛ woke me at 425 to let me know Felicity 🦊 was visiting. Literally first thing I saw was this gal. I was in and out getting water, made coffee etc then we sat and watched the sun come up together. She touched my foot while I was sipping coffee. Cold nose she had. Hung for about an hour.

Ummm…WTAF?😳 #britishcolumbia, #canada we MUST do all we can to oppose this company. This is beyond a slippery slope having multiple US political/US military people on its board. Mining and defense often go hand in hand. #never51ststate novaredmining.com/news/secreta...

Slick! Gyhh

Today’s entertainment … 🌲 🪓

It feels quite uncomfortable to wish my husband a Happy Birthday. Yes, he shares the day with the big, fat, bloated, lunatic, lying, mentally unwell, orange, baboon baby down South. Anyhow, D, have a great day❣️ ⛳️ Please don’t hold it against me to exist in his sphere in this way. Ugh.

Off-call vacation at the cabin mode activated! Momma doe came to check me out as I sat on the dock…fawn(s) must be stashed next door. Listening to the multitude of birds and waterfowl.

These tiny babies filled my heart after it was crushed yesterday when I witnessed a bear was killed beside my house for simply existing along the river. Town sucks some days. Happy to be at the cabin today where we coexist happily and there are not the overreactions of yesterday.

…and he is officially a NVSS 2026 graduate! Thank you to Mrs Cross and Mr Young for providing a grad experience that worked for his needs. We are very grateful for your inclusion and look forward to the professional photos to come. This is a truly triumphant day, against many odds. Congrats. 💙💛

Overcame my fear/anxiety of this new beast on our steep property this morning. This is far from the xr200r I used as a young woman…somehow the thought of 4 wheels on the steep grade was scarier in advance to what I knew. The 1000cc engine contributed greatly, but #ididit ! #quad #cabinlife

Good morning sunshines! #bluesky#canadaeh #morningcoffee #cabinlife #northernbc #beautifulbc #simonbay #thereprobablyisbaileysinhere #coffeeonthedock

Kara has loved and supported 🇨🇦 fiercely, so by proxy each and every one of us Canucks. She deserves all that love right back from fellow 🇨🇦 as she faces this chapter.

This young man is OFFICIALLY finished high school! Yesterday he made his Capstone presentation and is 100% complete his work and was given his grad hoodie. Sodelhti translates to “they honoured me” in Dakelh. A private crossing the stage on the 13th has been arranged by his inclusion team. 👨‍🎓

Little guy soccer is a hoot to watch. There is everything from somersaults to footie on the field at any given moment. Being grandma means I can now smile widely at these shenanigans that drove me batty as a mother ;)

❤️💙 #montreal

Look who’s back!!!! ❤️🦊 ❤️

Greenhouse is looking lovely this morning! Looking forward to having time after this wknd to play in there more. It has been a busy few weeks!

Just wrote my last exam for my Emergency Management program. If I don’t get Capstone approval for June, will wait for Sept/Oct after our busy response season. Also: today kicks off Emergency Preparedness Week. sign up for your local alerting system. Here it outs: ca.voyent-alert.com/vras/client....

Beauty morning for coffee on the dock. I think today we will literally watch leaves unfurl and turn green as we do spring clean up.

I could live on variations of a bowl like this!

Excited AND scared to death! Got the greenhouse finished setting up and put the first plants in. Tucked them in and hoping for the best. Have not set up the heater. That panic may come at 4 am 😬

First time trying #seedrls and I am fully converted!!! In about 4 square inches I grew about 25 Jalepeno peppers. Great root systems and even was able to re roll the extras I do not need. 🌱#northerngardener #northernbc #greenhousetime

Worth every one of the 7-800 something km south!! Desert Hills taco stand in Cache Creek. A little taste of 🇲🇽

Off and running to Kamloops to attend the NESST conference and fill my cup and soul. So looking forward to seeing friends and connecting with new folks all while learning to make our program and practice more fulsome for those we serve. #emergencymanagement

My #autistic son is in the final stages of school. For the last two years he has been home due to lack of supports. Foods 12 is his last course for his Dogwood. This is today’s lab, a meat & veg meal. He injected chicken with butter sauce and used Indian spices on roasted veg. #yummy #learnathome 🇨🇦

It is the best day of the year when I can get in my greenhouse and clean up! Tomorrow wash all the panels in and out and start planting a few things!! The last bits of snow should be gone tomorrow!! 🤞🏼🌱 #greenhouse #northerngardener

Early this morning, I was driving downtown. The snow had stopped, it was still very dark, and the streetlights were all on. All the trees heavy with fluffy wet snow, on a completely fresh white snowy background. It was truly beautiful. Happy first day of Spring in the North! 🇨🇦

The start of a perfect wknd. Time at the #cabin and #aurora #northernlights Happy Momma!

Joined Hey.cafe. Looking around but not “getting” it yet. Anyone over there already feel free to add me “lumberjacksgurl” with same profile pic.

Yay!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 VERY LAST time change this wknd. We are done waiting for the US Congress to support Wa, Or, Ca to join us because “Congress is broken”. ~ D Eby BC Premier

Date night. Off to the Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards.

This is now done and dropped off. On its way to #TumblerRidge tomorrow. I hope it wraps a young girl in warmth, love and support. After our own much milder active shooter school lockdown a few years back, I can only imagine the level of trauma this neighbouring town is experiencing. Love to all. ❤️

Today is #RareDiseaseDay. As an individual who has three listed rare diseases, I urge all to invest in research to alleviate suffering and increase quality of life of millions with diseases that their low incidence means there is not money to be made by curing them. #IAmRare #PI #PH #TBM

First neighbourhood campfire dinner of 2026. It is a balmy -5. #northerners

Happy Valentine’s Day all! Thank you to our small village who has made what has become our annual “love getaway” to celebrate our anniversary possible. We are enjoying adult only time at the cabin and being grateful for our last 20 years married (23 together). Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Grateful that today Canada 🇨🇦 showed that we truly are made of a different fabric than the 🇺🇸 and that care, compassion, unity and grace are the basics that weave us together. #lovetoTumblerRidge #northernerssticktogether #leadwithgrace

#TumblerRidge Love and deepest condolences to all of the families. Abel Mwansa, 12. Ezekiel Schofield, 13. Kylie Smith, 12. Zoey Benoit, 12. Ticaria Lampert, 12. Shannda Aviugana-Durand, 39. Emmett Jacobs: 11. Jennifer Jacobs, 39.

Happy 20th hubby.

My heart goes out to Tumbler Ridge families. This brings back horrible memories of our active shooting incident a few years back and our special needs child eloping from school and missing directly before. Worst couple hours of my life until he was located safe. Daughter and I were in the lockdown.

@michaelgarrett.bsky.social has an excellent summation post regarding Bad Bunny’s #SuperBowl #halftime show. While he has an account here he is not using it of late. More leaders need to lead loudly like this! #americas #loveisgreaterthanhate

Today I took part in a class led by the very talented Gladys Michell at Quilter’s Corner. Thanks to Hilary for the invitation to join her today. I am so pleased with how this turned out and enjoyed Gladys’ teachings and stories of the matriarchs in her life throughout the afternoon. Mussi cho! ❤️🧵

Last night when we went to bed, Danny started snoring like a sawmill as soon as his head hit the pillow. I decided to get up and organize this month’s UFO project. I might have stayed up until after 230 am and I might have spent the day today sewing in my PJs. Where I started and where I am.. #quilt

This quilt turned out really pretty. Perfect size to drape the couch for now. This was a #brownbagmystery quilt from 2022 I think. It was my month 1 ufo for the challenge put out by my lqs. #imadeit literally and figuratively!

There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason. Canadians are standing together in defence of this beautiful land. 🇨🇦

youtu.be/kYQATGh7r6U Exactly. #abpoli #abledg #canada #canadaalways 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 #ab #alberta

WOW!! What a hauntingly beautiful summation of the tragedies happening in the 🇺🇸. The delivery by someone so young (I read 20) is just the unspeakable icing. This need to become an anthem of the moment and boosted EVERYWHERE. #noice #usa #canadasky youtu.be/pkbYWJ3wAOU?...
