Music is much of life when we aren’t swimming in the summer…

On the lake - perfect summer night

Have a peaceful, healthy summer weekend. Shabbat shalom.

Physician here (words of wisdom from Canada): Get your MMR vaccines. Safe and effective. The US has seen more cases of measles in the last 2 years than the total between 2000-2024. That is what happens when a country is led by anti-vaccine, anti-science scoundrels and spreaders of disinformation.

Another amazing canoe camping trip in Algonquin Park.

Hope everyone is keeping cool. A few days ago, we went on a long paddle down a river, out to a local lake. Pup played in the water and then hopped back into the canoe.

Can anyone identify these mushrooms? Growing in my garden under my lettuce

Is it Friday again already? Have a wonderful weekend, friends and colleagues. Shabbat shalom. (Photo was sunset last night)

Water 25.3 degrees, air 21.2 and wet. Training for our triathlon, rain or shine.

When your pup just wants to jump into the kayak for a ride… but then doesn’t want to sit down because there’s rain water in the bottom and she’s a princess

Have a lovely weekend. Shabbat shalom.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 Thankful to live in this spectacular country!

Something happy to start your day: The whippoorwill has returned to our cottage. Turn on volume and you’ll hear its evening call, “whippoorwill, whippoorwill, whippoorwill.” It always sings in the tall grass just outside the window with the stained glass butterfly.

Canadians, #Gander officially launches on #CanadaDay. It is truly nicer there. If you haven’t joined during its pre-launch months, let’s see as many of us as possible flock there on July 1. Elbows (and wings) up! 🇨🇦 You’ll find me there: gander.social/profile/nili...

Have a lovely, peaceful summer weekend. Shabbat shalom.

Picked up the last of my recent pottery mugs, from the class that my husband and I took at our local community centre. As you can tell, I have a love of tree themes.

Happy Father’s Day to those who’ve raised children lovingly

Four moose on the road in one day. That’s Newfoundland for ya.

Have a peaceful weekend, friends and colleagues. Shabbat shalom from Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland.

Most eastern point in North America — Cape Spear, Newfoundland

Remember last summer we drove from Ottawa, to Vancouver Island, to PEI, and home again? Well, we just completed our cross-Canada trip: St John’s, Newfoundland! 🇨🇦

So proud of our daughter on the day of her graduation - strong, smart as a whip - and wish her all the greatest adventures as she starts university next autumn.

Have a wonderful, peaceful weekend, friends. Shabbat shalom.

Our son convinced us to train for a triathlon this summer…

We’ve been taking a pottery wheel class, my husband and I, in preparation for our empty nest phase. Beginners but happy with my tree-themed mugs and bowls. Have a peaceful, healthy weeekend, friends and colleagues. Shabbat shalom.

Hello from windy Quebec City. Have a healthy, happy weekend, friends and colleagues. Shabbat shalom.

Very proud of Noam - way to go, son! University of New Brunswick grad! Next year, off to law school…

Road trip, Ottawa to Fredericton, for son’s graduation. Love the scenic route along the Saint Lawrence River, shoreline and farms.

Perfect way to spend a cool May 24 afternoon: Husband and I spent a few hours setting up a watering system and bird net on our cottage garden. With any luck this year that will help the veggies to succeed when we are in the city working…

Back in the Twitter days, I made a point of following women, as men had much larger followings. Gander is the new Canadian platform. I have some invites and I’m reaching out to prominent Canadian women artists, writers, politicians, health advocates, other leaders to join us over there. 🇨🇦🪿
