Just cracked a dozen eggs (store-bought). Eleven of them had a double yolk!

Yes, it does! Cochin Ocean has a lighthouse. (It’s not a real ocean, it’s Jackfish Lake, Saskatchewan.) There is also a public beach.

The bag said “naturally imperfect” but I think it’s beautiful. And delicious. And aren’t we all “naturally imperfect”?

Share your mug!

Q. How many guys does it take to remove a golf course green cover?

A. Apparently, eight. Plus one to watch.

Today I read Wonder Drug: LSD in the Land of Living Skies. It’s a short graphic nonfiction book about the use of LSD in psychiatric research in Weyburn, Saskatchewan in the 1950s.
Book cover image which uses cartoon-style. Man in a brown suit seated in a chair in the same room as a woman seated on a chaise longue. She is looking up at a ceiling of a meandering rainbow of colours which at the top give way to small silhouettes of the Weyburn psychiatric hospital, grain elevators, and railway crossing signals.

Happy birthday, Maud Lewis (1903-1970). She lived a life of poverty and pain from juvenile arthritis, selling her art for no more than $10 per picture. Now her work sells at auction for tens of thousands of dollars.

Welp. I’ve become the old lady who has ancient baking supplies in her kitchen.

Snow, glorious snow! Someone had to see if their snowmobile still works, I guess. Tracks through a city green space.

Doggo is so happy she finally got a walk today after five days of the temperatures being too unsafe to go.

If it’s bad luck to walk under a ladder, I wonder if there is a superstition for this situation 😆
