Getting used to the new garden. This is today's bounty. Also starting some seeds, planted some raspberries, and dug up a huge Mexican sage :)

The gooseberry will become chutney, beans and chard into a stew, rosemary hung to dry, rhubarb for pie!

Getting to know my new neighbours. And hit 6000 observations on iNat!

Highlight of my 3-day airport floor sleeping tour is this (sadly invasive) slug on the sidewalk outside IHOP in Hawaii. They're pretty gorgeous.

I've yet to see a native Hawaiian animal on my two 12-hour layovers in the state, but granted I'm mostly at the IHOP while there.

Had a blast with Dad, the Canadian Cattle Association folks, and our lovely MP Alana Hirtle this week. Bit of a blur meeting ministers and also some really cool fellow farmers.

Now on my way back to Tassie!

I stole these photos from the ag minister's account
