beautiful sailing through Jervis Inlet. thanks, @bcferries.bsky.social for the ride!! #sunshinecoastbc

be still my heart. #sallythedog being so lovely.

Happy Birthday, Sally!! You’re 7-ish today. Life is better with you in it.❤️

It is so hot and windy right now and we have an out of control fire just outside the city. Welcome to BC in the summer. #bcwildfires

really??? min/max thermometer placed on the back stair at 33C. I know it’s hot there but whoa! I always pick up the dog or use the front stair. inside just after 9pm sees 28C. stoopid.

flip flops off! #summertime #backyard #lounging #sallythedog

when you realize that nature is your real mother.

look who’s taking a nap in the rose bush? 🐝

such a lovely way to start the day with Sally and some blueberries. onto the morning garden chores.

and we’re off!!! #dripirrigation

mean cat on a stoop. ‘don’t worry, just passing through.’

my new summer ride. perfect for garden projects!!! #keitruck #mitsubishi #minicab #TheMighty #1992

I made #strawberryjam from my home grown strawberries!! 🍓 #nocanning

my life for the next few days - installing the drip irrigation into 10 raised garden beds. #dripirrigation #gardenlife

Looks like I’ll be loaded with strawberries 🍓 this year!!!

#peonies #inmygarden

First bloom of the peonies season

I think I’m going to plant some Sally’s this year. I wonder how tall they get. #sallythedog #gardenlife #dogsofbluesky

I just mowed my lawn to a tall blade height and left it in place. I am a new person!

The rain’s on its way. #sunshinecoastbc #qathet #cloudstudy #stormclouds

#sallythedog fresh from a wake up before her pre-dinner walk.

#sallythedog and I hit the beach today. so pretty. #willingdonbeach #qathet #sunshinecoastbc

I pruned and transplanted the 4 blueberry plants into containers and created a small greens bed with transplanted arugula. The beginning of #garden2025

Canada is everything.

Elbows up, Canada.

This poor schmuck. You don’t have to be a lip reader to know that Canada starts with the letter C. Not a P or a B. Watch it again, with no volume. #poorpoilievre

#timelapse #cloudstudy #qathet #sunshinecoastbc

the peach tree is looking hopeful!!!

coffee time with Ginger Snaps and a nod to my newly-discovered Swedish cousin, @marlene66.bsky.social Is this a #fika??? #madeinsweden #enjoyedincanada

‘tweaked’ achilles tendon with tendinitis. 4-6 weeks resting and on crutches. oh, and throw in a bone spur on my heel for good measure. Goodbye spring garden plans. That’s gonna hurt more. 😞

ER fun.

#cloudstudy #sunset #sunshinecoastbc

Took me about 10 hrs but I found my #earthquake damage. Still, it was quite scary. First the rumble, then the house cracked and then I picked up #sallythedog and ran out of the house with socks on. I thought a small plane had crashed on my roof. 😆 All good - this time. 🤞 #sunshinecoastbc

oh no, @marlene66.bsky.social !!!! what to do!!

I just learned that I was 15 months old when the Canadian Flag was first raised on Parliament Hill.

my cousin @rmcjannet.bsky.social got me into this game. so much fun!!! i might have to start hosting Yahtzee nights!!! thank you, my dear!!!🥰
