Bird and bunny tracks are my favourite part of winter. The rest of it not so much.
A light dusting of snow on a porch shows angular bird tracks and rounded bunny tracks. A few stray leaves complete the scene.

For #scape Friday. A beautiful Ontario day, from a couple of weeks ago when we still had blue skies instead of smoky haze.

I love it when the tiny little tomatoes start to show up.

First bits from the garden. I planted late so we haven’t been able to raid it before this. Looking forward to our own lettuce again.

I'm grateful for long time clients! We recently launched a new #webflow site for a local #quinte plumber. The site features their range of services and projects, loads FAST and is easy to edit.

Crisis averted. After four days of rain, our old sump pump overheated and shut down. Thankfully, basement is unfinished but the rising water required about 50 trips out of the basement to empty the shopvac. Plumber has saved the day with a new sump pump. 💦 🙏

This week’s theme is #LightAndShadow on the #BlueSkyArtShow. I bought this statue at a gift shop in the Vatican many years ago. Image taken on film & developed by moi during a #photography class.

Oops. I got a little ahead of myself and posted a day early for the #BlueSkyArtShow. Drop by tomorrow instead to see my image. In the meantime, here’s a blossom from my apple tree.
