This is a soldier. In Canada we don't worry about beards...

This little guy (loonie-size) was trying to make his way up to the porch this morning. He didn't like being picked up, until he realized that my hand was nice and warm, then he didn't want to jump off! He is safely back in with the flowers, hopefully eating lots of pesky bugs.

I feel so paralyzed and hopeless, looking at our drought-decimated trees. I have never seen it like this, and still no reliable rain expected for weeks... 😭
So I console myself with my little oasis - thankfully, our well is allowing me to keep it going!

This is just a reminder of what is important (to preserve)- nature and climate! Early colours are almost an early August clock in SE Ontario!

Good morning Bluesky!
If you have time, take your firefly forest moment before carrying on with the good fight (whatever it may be). "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
...And miles to go before I sleep." Robert Frost
Happy Canada Day!!!

Fresh from the spa! (Of course, it snowed out, so a sweater is required for the adjustment period)

One week post right knee replacement, doing well (well, a little bored and irritable lol), admiring our new house flag and listening to Gordon Lightfoot. We WILL get through this, stronger and more resilient! 🍁

So, as a distraction from the serious, angst-inducing political matters before the world, I have a dilemma for you. I was moving some pictures today, and this fell out. It isn't Easter yet, and we didn't have the grandsons here for Easter last year. To eat, or not to eat?

🇨🇦 in Florida, helping 🇨🇦 parents (snowbirds). My husband is at a red light, idiot#1 beside him yells, "Just wait 'til you're 51st State." Idiot #2 on other side: "Instead of going fishing in Alaska, maybe I'll go to 51st State instead." I can't get out of here fast enough... #canadianinunitedstates
