“None of us are getting out of here alive. 😊
• Stop treating yourself like an afterthought.
• Walk in the sunshine
• Jump in the ocean
• Say the truth you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure
• Be silly, be kind, be weird
• There’s no time for anything else.”

Monarch Butterfly larva on our milkweed. Our granddaughter is visiting and she loves looking for them. Sometimes I catch a glimpse, but her young hawk eyes zoom in on these little munchers. We are always pleased to see them.

Oregon Coast Bridge. As we travel, I like to take pics of bridges we cross. We travelled from British Columbia, Canada to northern California and back. I find most bridges become landmarks after they are built.

Canada Goose family walked across the fairway today while I sauntered down the fairway chasing a yellow golf ball. It was a pleasant moment with clear blue skies and warm sun.

Our Redbud Trees have leaves that have or are opening. They are heart-shaped and have a brilliant green colour. The new leaves have a soft reddish tinge to them. This is a wonderful tree to have in our garden.

We have poppies growing in our backyard and one popped today!
It reminds me to be grateful to my father and grandfather who served in WW2. Grandpa served in WW1 too.
They both survived to return to their families thankfully.
It doesn't have to be Remembrance Day to be grateful for their service.

Volunteers have pulled hundreds of tires from our local Little River. It was hard to believe another tire appeared 22 April, Earth Day! We think the Winter season causes the tires to heave out of the mud at the bottom of the river.

Our Windsor-Essex community planted over 2000 trees and shrubs yesterday to celebrate Earth Day. We saw Canada geese, Mute swans, Red-winged blackbirds and Mallard ducks. A Red-tailed hawk soared high above also. We like to see this wildlife using the natural area while we plant trees and shrubs.
