Snow on Kelly's Mountain
Said gorge on the downward side of the dam. I believe there is still a small NB Power generator operating on the dam.

Good morning @867gerry.bsky.social @rastasack.bsky.social Cathy. All of my cardinals are fuzzy, so here's the top of the gorge at St. George, NB. in Nov/06. Always liked the lighting in this one.

A beautiful starry night last night and AM. Out looking at the stars and a few planets in the evening - even Pluto! Pluto looked like a small white dot, period. Still being able to spot a rock from 5.4 billion km away is very cool!

"How to Fly (in 10,000 Easy Lessons)". Audio book. Poems read by author Barbara Kingsolver. To listen to while I drive. Playful, exquisite turns of phrase, causes you to think, but remains readily accessible, which I like.

One is like that, the other gets a lot of dust, pollen, etc. Clean it 2x/yr, but hadn't seen it nearly that bad.
Weird year, weird results. Something to ponder before next Spring.

Good morning all, it's Friday already? Days get befuddled around in a travel week. Glad you got a decent sleep Rasta. Channeling Cat Stevens this morning.

A nicely done pre-AI graphic, but Day 2 motel coffee nonetheless ☕. With luck, home ground coffee tomorrow morning.

A perceptive young man coming of age and a mother making problematic choices. Like Demon Copperhead, yet the rhythm and setting are so unique that it seems to be from a different, equally talented, writer.

Btw (despite smaller size) these apples are as fresh and as flavourful as you're ever going to get. Worth the room your basket if you see them

There are some very good prices on smallish #Novascotia #apples right now. $0.99/lb for McIntosh. $1.29/lb for Honeycrisp. Seen at Superstore but may be elsewhere.
Top choice for me is Scotian Gold, with VanMeekeren Orchards a close 2nd. Personally pass on Belliveau's.

A rich person's kayak on the Bras d'Or this morning.
I'll take my 17 footer over a cruise every day of the week.
