Almost forgot to share this morning's walk photo of Mitra. #DogsOfBluesky

When you’re out fishing please be responsible and clean up your gear. This stuff is a hazard for wildlife.

This is an important sheep thread. Be sure to read all of the alt text because it is pure gold.

Biggest sale I've ever had continues. Still 50% off all paper prints on my website. Shipping in Canada is $25 so buy a couple. Sorry. No US orders.

Look at this book!

Flu and Covid vaccinations are free in BC. Easy to make an appointment at the local pharmacy. A quick couple of jabs and Bob's your uncle. ❤️

Our walk this morning. There is something interesting down the hill. Maybe a squirrel? Mitra's coat is looking pretty shaggy. Time to get some quality brushing in.

This morning's walk with my good girl, Mitra. #DogsOfBluesky

I have been going through some big feelings lately, so I decided a self-portrait would help me. I'm not sure what this means, but here it is. It is a sort of therapy for me. A comment on not being heard. Acrylic on canvas. 28 in x 28 in. #ArtTherapy

A customer came into the yarn shop on Monday asking for help with her knitting. She had asked chatgpt to help her & of course it gave her the absolutely wrong answer. It took me 20 minutes, but I got her back on track. How can AI replace centuries & centuries of human knowledge & creativity? 😔

My walk this morning with my sweet girl Mitra. #DogsOfBluesky

Some solid song suggestions here. I think a K Pop version of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald or There are no tariffs on a Heart of Gold could be winners.

I read this and I have concerns. It seems that there will be heavy investment in AI, especially in government services, while "resizing" the human workforce. Recession may be in the forecast for Canada. Our plan: Building Canada strong | Budget 2025 share.google/TUXp0SCHXZRb...

I have to say, it's really lovely to see our USA friends have something to cheer about. Congratulations pals! Well done!

GAR WEEK 2025 is HERE!!! Join @garlab.bsky.social as we celebrate these awesome living fossil fishes and freshwater biodiversity for #GarWeek! We look forward to hearing from YOU with any gar pics, puns, stories, GARtwork and questions this week!

Good morning for a walk with my best girl, Mitra. It was stormy yesterday, so the old wagon road we walk on is covered in tree needles. I wish I could share the smell of the woods with you because it is fantastic after a day of steady rain. The world is still beautiful. #DogsOfBluesky

I've never paid attention to the Kardashians because they are just so fucking annoying but wow. I look forward to the day they become absolutely irrelevant.

It was a day today. "I want to knit this sweater but change it and use this totally unsuitable yarn. Can you help me?" Customer leaves after an hour empty handed. Helping a customer for 20 minutes, found a pattern for her on Rav, showed her yarn, then she says she will look at her stash at home

I think about this when I see people racing around our national parks, taking selfies and then racing to the next viewpoint, talking on their phones, taking more selfies. If we can't even wonder at the beauty of it all, should we be allowed to share it with the creatures who call it home?

🧵 If you feel like helping me out, keeping me fed, internetted & electrified, consider buying one of my little art things. 1/3

Walk in the woods with Mitra. We woke up to a cool and wet morning, but no snow yet, so off we go! #DogsOfBluesky

Important polar bear thread.

Polar bear alert.

Check this out. I love everything about this sweet video.

Just look at this beauty.

Here's some good, positive news.

My dear doggie Mitra. She's almost 15 years old and still doing her morning walks, though she moves a lot slower. We aren't sure how many more days we will get with her as her health declines, but we will treasure every one of them. #DogsOfBluesky

I don't think I've ever paid so much attention to or been so worried about the state of Canada and our federal budget before. On pins and needles until the announcement and vote in November.

Today's mantra.

They rolled up on a cherry picker with chainsaws at 9:30 am and escaped on a scooter. Just confirms what a friend told me years ago, you can get with anything if you do it with confidence and authority. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

I wrote up my sock pattern and listed it for sale on Ravelry for anyone who may be interested. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #Knitting #SockKnitters

Just another photo of Emerald Lake, Yoho National Park, Canada. #NaturalBeauty

We went for sushi our last night in Golden and the chopsticks came in this paper wrapper. 😄

Today was a trip to Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park. An easy 5 km walk around the lake with my guy. And yes, the lake really is that colour. It is so beautiful despite the crowds of people. Luckily for us, most folks stay near the lodge for quick selfies and don't do the hike.

Walking along the Kicking Horse River with my guy, reminding me there is still beauty in the world.

Kicking Horse River flowing through Golden BC just before it meets the mighty Columbia River. What a gorgeous place. Life is still beautiful.

I watched the Jane Goodall Netflix doc/interview last night and then had a dream that she came to our house for dinner. She was helping to clear the dishes after and was very pleased to see our compost bucket as my husband excitedly explained our composting system to her.

It's more like I feel like such a loser. Especially at 3 am, when my brain rehashes every mistake I've made in my life. Thankfully, it doesn't happen as often as it used to, but when it does, I suffer big time the next day.

Ohmygoodness! Look at these fantastic knitting patterns.

Well, this is appropriate at this time. I have been experiencing a lot of grief and stress the last couple of weeks, family stuff, shedding some tears. May my tears become the rain I need to water the flowers of my heart soon. May your tears become the rain you need too.

This is horrifying.

The Oregon Coast is one of our favourite holiday destinations and we are not going to visit any time soon. It makes me sad that this is happening but we just can't see how we can do it with the current government in the USA.

I'm sad but so grateful that I lived on this planet at the same time as Jane Goodall. She was one of the good ones. RIP Jane.❤️
