Idle hands are the devil’s workshop.

More treasures and pleasures from the garden. Riches from the Earth. Gratitude.

Watching the beautiful rain.

Seasoned Pita Chips. Cut pita bread into smaller pieces. Toss with olive oil and seasonings of choice. (I used za’ataar) Spread evenly on parchment paper lined pan and into oven at 350F. Go outside Suddenly remember chips in the oven. Run. Remove! Place on counter. Add expletives of choice.

No good deed goes unpunished.

The orange felon is threatening Canada with more tariffs because of wildfire smoke drifting to the US. For context, Canada sent fire crews to the US when Southern California was being ravaged by catastrophic blazes. He’s a piece of shit. Sending love to our Canadian friends. 🇨🇦

So, is it hot enough for ya?

I’ve never seen rainbows of this magnitude in the the 31 years I’ve lived here. This Spring ‘26, I’ve seen two!

After much deliberation, some great daring, perseverance, and the help of a good neighbour, this Bosc pear got this beautiful mesh veil to protect her fruit from birds. After many disappointing years of being ravaged, I might just get to eat at least one pear this year. Fingers crossed.

Everyone’s out for an evening stroll!

My resident groundhog is getting braver by the minute. Wild life. Life wild.

Cleaning and clearing winter damage. A fallen bough, a broken nest. 🎄

Discovered this small clutch of fingerling potatoes that I obviously missed harvesting last Fall. Perfect for a tasty treat for tomorrow’s lunch. Gifts from the garden.

My fine, furry, friend from over yonder.

Wait…wait….there’s quality at Tim Horton’s?

youtube.com/watch?v=NHg9... haven’t been to Timmy’s in about 10 years. The coffee is disgusting, their products are whipped oil. Gross. And they aren’t Canadian. Owned by an American (RBI) conglomerate, and 3G Capital, a Brazilian company.

Ohhh…that’s the way…uhuhuh…we like it….uhuh…

My happy collection of booze bottles and cans off my roadside. How much do you think I’ll get? Enough for an Orange Fanta and chips?

Starting sweet potato slips (vines) for late May planting, with high hopes for September harvest. I dearly love this life!

Sweet harbingers if Spring.

While showering this morning I had the startling revelation that Jesus had 2 Dads.

While I don’t have access to watch The Pit, I echo your gratitude for being a Canadian and for our health care system.

Watching "The Pitt" makes me so happy I'm Canadian and have free access to health care.
