Today is my big brother’s funeral in Prince George. Rest in peace, Ernie, and rise in glory.

There’s a predicted Siberian cold front headed our way. Time to winterize the #HangingGardenofHarwood and cross my fingers. #Vancouver #balconygarden #gardenlife

Question: do hashtags work here? I’m an avid balcony gardener and would like to connect with other gardeners. Thanks for any info.

The Hanging Garden of Harwood still has a few stunning blooms but the hanging pots are taken down and nestled against the other containers. Winter Jasmine, red mums, and salvia guarantica “nectar blue” are still going strong! #balconygarden

I’m really enjoying seeing this little courtyard come to life. It’s part of the huge redo of First Baptist at Burrard & Nelson in Vancouver.

I’m this choir’s marketing director and got to post this news today. (feeling kind of proud of myself, not gonna lie)

Apparently colouring your hair and wearing a dangling earring is enough for folks to give you a wide berth on the sidewalk. Who knew? 🏳️‍🌈 🦄
