I was literally just saved by my sister's #dog Ollie. I was out taking a walk when a strange dog charged me very aggressively. Ollie saw what was happening, and violently defended me, chasing the other dog off, and then insisted on escorting me the rest of the way home.

Feeling down? Depressed at the state of the world? Are you in desperate need of some #brainbleach ?
Well I present to you, a man teaching an #octopus to play the #piano. Uplifting, entertaining, delightful. Give it a watch

Surgery went well. I still need to get more details on what the recovery period is going to look like, but it looks like I could be driving again in a month. I'm sore, but this is 100 times better than having abdominal surgery which is a VERY nice surprise. This will be much easier than anticipated.

Setting up my recovery station, and I appear to have solved the "how to read with one hand" problem. Gotta make sure I can see those letters from space.

I made delicious parsley pesto! I grew 5 of those monsters and originally thought it was way too much, but between my sister's amazing tabouli and the popularity of this pesto, I will 100% grow this again next year.

I didn't take a photo, but I made caramelized onions from my garden onions. It was so damned delicious. I swear to God, these days my food is tasting so good that I feel like crying from happiness every time I sit down for a meal.

Just watched Knock At The Cabin. FANTASTIC movie, but I must say my favourite part was watching M. Night Shyamalan try to sell air fryers on TV lol.

With everything going on in the world and in my life, it can be hard to summon enough emotional energy to care about the world series, but Canada overall could really use a morale boost.

Oh man, took a shower after a morning of prepping hot sauce and got tear gassed AGAIN in the shower as all those volatile oils mixed with the steam.

My OCD tendencies wanted me to blend until everything was completely smooth and uniform, but getting teargassed in the kitchen told me this was a bad idea.
Chunky sauce it is then.

A big bowl of garden broccoli, and a pot of soon to be apple butter. I missed the boat harvesting apples this year. The horses wound up eating most of them before I got out there. I'll have to be more proactive next year lol.
