I have ninja mice. I keep setting traps and they keep stealing the peanut butter without triggering the trap. #countryliving #joysofanoldhouse

This evening I had an injured Barred Owl in my yard. Its left wing seemed to be damaged. It eventually hopped into my woodshed. If it is still here in the morning I might try to call Hope for Wildlife. Sorry about the shaky video.

I've been out of commission due to a surgery, but rolled out some slabs to play with in preparation for my downtime. They are getting stiffer and I am playing with geometric form and colour decoration. White stoneware, mayco underglazes, paper resist. ##handcraftedpottery ##novascotiapottery

The new Banksy mural of a judge beating a peaceful protestor, social commentary on censorship etc, has been censored...
UK Labour should be wound down - absolute fraud of an organisation.

This is epic level #Canadianhistorynerd and I'm here for it.
I put all the Heritage Minutes in chronological order by event so you don't have to. 🇨🇦
(I was looking for this and couldn't find it, so it became a weird hobby. It genuinely may be of interest only to me.)

Oh my heart, yes - I have found a new description for myself ❤️I am absolutely a Papyrophiliac and always have been - just didn't know the term until now!
Back to school stationary shopping was always my FAVORITE when I was a kid! 📓📚🖋️😍 Guess I was destined for a literary life.

Happy Apple Blossom weekend in the Annapolis Valley. The Apple Blossoms are actually in bloom this year, along with pear, the end of the forsythia, lilacs and flowering crab. All together in a Janet Doble vase.

This is a "what would happen if?"
Someone asked, do crayons leave any pigment behind after the wax fires out? Can you use crayons for wax resist? I did glaze this after, and they did seem to work a bit as wax resist. Stay tuned for the pigment answer.
