13 weeks until our last frost date

I really love these cheap snips but my last pair the spring wouldn't stay on and this pair came with no edge at all

I know some people like to wait but I'm a big fan of repotting new plants asap

I want to know they for sure have the right soil mixture, space and where possible double my moneys worth 😊

I didn't really need more dahlias, we need to build & fill the bed I have for them still; but a local small farm had exactly the one I wanted to look for in the spring, so 2 more can't hurt

Ended up giving another lady there for pick-up gardening advice bc I can not shut up 🤭

Concise and well-done video on the harms of AI use and one person's experience being targeted

If you struggle to explain why this stuff is harmful to your right-wing-leaning cousin who loves AI, I suggest sending them this to open the conversation

Definitely not a rage-bait bot... 😂

FTR, I love the work PK has done to promote diversity in hockey

If you want to listen to the interview yourself (available on the CBC website), there were some problematic moments that've definitely made me rethink my opinion of him & his work

The red-twig dogwood stem I used to prop up this amaryllis is really going for it 😆

13 1/2 weeks before last frost here, so a perfect time to start more houseplants, so these can be moved out for the 4 weeks before frost seeds

It took the plumber more time walking back and forth from his truck than to cap the pipe, it was that easy

The problem is the $200 in tools you need to make it that easy

😮‍💨 we have indoor water again at least

Please nothing else break, at least until the weather is warm again
Given up and called a plumber for what is a 5-minute job if you have the right tools,

We just don't have access to the right things to fix it in town

Kids are getting take-out pizza tonight, and we've got water from the well, so we'll survive another day with no water 🫠
I just can't sometimes 🤣😂😭

A pipe burst in the downstairs bathroom that's under renovation since it warmed up to -3C today, so not just laundry but water to the entire house is off until we can figure this out

Everything was working for almost 18 hours, which was nice

Disappointed in PK defending Gretzky on CBC The Current this morning

Walter was a great man who did far more for the game than his son has

And the son ruined his own reputation

On things I have been able to fix news

Found these insulated tap bags at ReStore & they do seem to work!

It's been a bit milder the last few days so I'm not sure how it will handle -20C but we'll find out this weekend

Never had so many problems with this well head in 15 years, it's been THAT cold

In my exhausted, muddled mind, I didn't explain what I meant to:

I'm a single mom. I am mom/dad

This past session, I'd talked to my therapist about how tiring it is; she reminded me I'm awesome, which is true!

But it is so exhausting to be all of mom and dad and extended family to my kids ♥️
Being a mom/dad is fucking hard.
