A lovely view. Anthurium sp cirinoi black, in the back row, is especially fantastic right now.

The garden season was pretty much a write-off, but I did get one large tomato, and while it looked a bit rough outside, it was perfectly sweet inside. It was good enough for a sandwich on fresh baked sourdough, so I guess growing it was worth it.

It's been driving me crazy. Marco Rubio seemed so familiar, and I couldn't figure out why. And then it hit me. He's had some work done on the ears but they're still ginormous.

I sowed a number of poppy seeds in late winter and only 1 has grown. It bloomed today so I ran out between thunderstorms to snap a photo. Gardening is a reminder to appreciate tiny moments of beauty when they arrive because life is ephemeral. #yyc #yycgardens

Made 14 jars of blueberry lime jam today. This is your reminder that you don't need to grow it yourself to preserve it. Cost per jar is around $2.75. Pretty sweet.

Today's thrift store treasure. A Beatles milk glass coffee mug made by Federal glass. Paid $2, value around $45. My kid will use it to store guitar picks. Pretty neato.

The haskaps have produced well this year, but a pair of twin Robin fledglings are using them for breakfast and shelter, and I haven't had the heart to pick any for myself! Sweet babies. We are the only yard without dogs so I'm happy to have them here to be safe.
