Growing food for my neighbours one seed at a time, on the unceded territories of the K'ómoks nation.
What a beautiful day. Deer came visit, potatoes and carrots planted. Taxes dropped off 😆

My kid is slinging pickles for me at the Comox Valley Farmers Market, while I convalesce on the sofa. #farmer #farmersmarket

Interesting research into fertility rates and how to encourage families to have children.
Spoiler: Subsidized childcare makes a big difference for women as well as men sharing more of other household duties.
Lmao a Nobel Prize winner finds the solution to the global fertility collapse is for men to do the dishes and laundry more often -- more or less the precise opposite of the trad prescription

Fabulous @byheatherlong.bsky.social essay

I had a phenomenal time at the Invictus Games in Vancouver on the weekend. The Canadian Military Wives Choirs from Comox to Halifax were together singing and cheering for 4 days. We wrapped it up on stage at the Rogers Arena with the War and Treaty on Sunday night.

Beginning the 2025 season. I seeded red and yellow onions, sage, thyme, rosemary, parsley, poppies, lupines, echinacea, rudbeckia and daisies.
But first I had to clean a whole bunch of stuff and hang my new lights.

I think I'll wait until next week to plant the carrots.
It's the first snow of the season in Comox! It started snowing on Sunday night and it's still going.
I hope you have somewhere cozy to enjoy the view.
I'm going to get out some carrots and onions and potatoes and make stew.

Yes, I will look in the eyes of a happy cow and then go home and make tacos.
Honour the lives of happy cows.
