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.

Waiting for my husband to collect me. Worse places to wait...

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?

I love the St Lawrence River! We live just north of it, in Ontario. It used to exemplify our once amazing relationship with our Southern neighbours!

I have said goodbye to X, Instagram, and Twitter. More time to do screen grabs from my Birdcam! Blue Jays cannot resist peanuts! 🥰

A grey day here today (near Brockville, Ontario, Canada). I don't like them. But the winter sun did its bit for me before disappearing for another 15 hours... Tea and shortbread are in order!

Beautiful moonrise in Eastern Ontario this past weekend. I captured this from a moving vehicle (I wasn't driving lol) on my Samsung S24 Ultra. I think it did a pretty good job!

Curbside litter I picked up today in my 3Km dog-walking stretch of rural Southern Ontario. The weather has been great this fall. If you are able to, pick up some litter before the snow flies! You will feel good about it, and the planet will thank you for the help.
