I also remember, a few years ago, when "remote by design" was the new policy 👀

https://www.canada.ca/en/government/publicservice/workforce/common-hybrid-work-model-federal-public-service.html
Is the plan to eventually bring all employees back 5 days a week? Hybrid work is the future of the public service. A common hybrid work model will ensure coherence and equity across the federal government, providing public servants with regular opportunities to work with colleagues and partners in service to Canadians, while still having flexibility to work off site.

Translating on a laptop, with no ergonomic stuff??? 😂

This is one of my favourite things. You have actual fire trucks and you're extinguishing a fire with a tiny fire extinguisher??? 😂 #tropico6

Husband is gone for a whole week for work. First time in... A decade? What do I do? Paint the downstairs bathroom, finally 😆

The blue jay looked unhappy about the lack of peanuts, so I opened and closed the balcony door a few times and threw seeds behind the door lol
A balcony full of snow, you can see a small part where the snow has been pushed aside. Peanuts in their shell and some sunchips are visible

Prepping and roasted some veggies. Because let's be honest, that's not happening during the week 😅

Carrots, celeriac and beets
Two big casseroles filled with slices of carrots, celeriac and pretty pink and white beets

The American goldfinch's favourite spot! Tall stems of native plants!

Look at this perfectly round junco!! :face_holding_back_tears: Just stayed there for me for so long!

#skyard #birdphotography
A small, but very round bird, mostly dark grey, with a white chest and white under the tail. They're on a wooden fence, seen from profile, looking at the camera

Absolutely terrible picture lol but it's our house sparrow family!! 🥹

(Zooming through a window with a phone.. Lol!)

#birding
Three brown birds, one has a big gray patch on his head, one has less colours and the one in the middle is probably a juvenile, less colours and fluffier. They're on a green porch roof

It's funny, but I had never seen brussel sprouts still on their stem before! And cone cabbage is new to us.

We really enjoyed the delicata squash from the last basket too
Vegetables on a kitchen table. You can see some beets in a bag, Bok Choy, two peppers, a cone cabbage, brussel sprouts on a tall stem and some root vegetable

I was missing our New England asters from the old house this fall and thought that maybe I'd buy some next year.

Well, the god of volunteer plants heard me! Guess we're at five different species of native asters now 😍

#skyard
Two different styles of asters. The top one has darker purple petals that are thin and long. At the bottom are lilac blooms (smooth blue asters)

And the goldfinches are happy that their seeds are full again!

Fly, fly little butterfly milkweed seeds 🍃

A butterfly milkweed seed pod, burst open, showing little black seeds in some white "floss" to help them spread with the wind. It's surrounded by more pods and leaves. The sun is shining from the top left corner
