I love the gift of living my lifetime in an extraordinary chapter of human history. Profile pic is an old Labrador I had, he took his tug of war seriously.
Well I’m a month in and still nothing, I think they all gave up the ghost long ago. Oh well, at least my store bought seeds have started blooming as a consolation prize 🌱

Well I am ready to try to grow these, and I'm soaking the seeds before starting. A few sunk meaning I might have a shot with those!🌱

In Canada we don't vote for the PM, we vote for our MP. I like the Conservative MP we have in our riding and I have voted for him throughout the Trudeau years. He seems to me a sensible, center-right politician with a high profile and someone I want representing me.

What a remarkable shift in recent Canadian polls.
Anyone aware of polls, that target how much is due to Trump and how much to Trudeau stepping down?

I put these nasturtium seeds in a homemade pack I made from lined paper from our garden when I was 16! They are more an artifact now than anything else but I estimate there are about a 100 seeds in there - I might try sprouting 75% of them. Thoughts on chances of at least 1 germinating?

We may just be the only active NASA mission on the Bluesky platform, so be sure to tell all your friends they can see stunning images of Mars from the best camera ever sent to another planet that we're here, and help us surpass the 500-follower threshold.
And thank you to all who follow us now!

Getting into woodworking and made a reindeer out of a strap piece of 2x4 on my ancient (tiny) bandsaw. Good enough to keep me going!
