Thank you PM Carney for being our Prime Minister in these dangerous times.
We remember not to glorify war but to acknowledge and remember why we have to be ‘on guard’ to prevent war while honouring those who fought for what is right in the past.

![Collage of postcards from a WWI vet, who had lied about his age in order to sign up. Postcard in upper right reads in part: “Our brigade were the first ones in here [Mons, Belgium] the early morning of November 11th (the day the armistice was signed) and had a great reception … the battalion organized a dance last night and a good number of ladies attended. I never thought when I was in Edmonton that I would ever be waltzing and two stepping in Mons. I’ll be back in Edmonton before very long. Best wishes for a Merry Xmas for all.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mkn3rqotwgciaux3modsfrnz/bafkreigrmtue6srezjrndfxuiiowavmzgnbtg4ilbamyajoki5bfwdqwwy@jpeg)

My favourite sign from January 2017 Trump protest in Vancouver Canada. So brilliant because it highlights what is the truly obscene part of the phrase.

So beautiful.
This is a ‘ripe’ peony (store-bought) we are enjoying at the moment.

Good Wednesday morning!
Our peony shrub is in bloom! It's so exciting when they bloom, I'd like to share its fragile beauty.

She is absolutely adorable.
Here's our Punky in 2014 with two siblings. Punky is the middle one (I think!). He's really something. Listens/obeys like a dog! Sometimes, anyway 😉

Made on new Breville induction cooktop taking the place of gas burner.
Happy, happy.

Such a beautiful day in Vancouver today. The leaves are out, the flowers are out, the air is cool, crisp and clean in a light rain. As good as it gets, really.
And to think I didn’t want to go out today.

I don’t know what this is about - refuse to click on it - but look at this garbage. On voting day no less. I guess it’s an example of the type of disinformation we’ve been warned about.
