Disgusting. I'm Canadian, born and raised in Western Canada (Manitoba and BC) and, though they call it a national dish, I've never had it, not even tempted to try it. It's an Eastern Canadian thing, definitely not a Western Canadian thing.

I love where we live. I take a daily weather picture for my digital journal. This is today's picture, taken in Kelowna, BC.

I was unable to work between December & April due to a breakdown. Every single RT here helps put my creative & mental health workshops in front of more eyes & helps me get back on my feet financially. It would help *so* much if you could RT my workshop below if you have a few seconds. Thankyou ๐ŸŒฟ

I've seen farmers burn them. I'm not sure how effective, or safe that is, though.

I love the picture but I love that quote even more! I think it's just what I need to internalize right about now. Thank you, Amy!

I've never read Terry Pratchett; where does one start? I have a few Audible credits to use.

What size needles are you using? And yarn weight? Looking good so far!

Couldn't resist, and couldn't go any further down this trail.

Even with a free digital bujo, you can find all sorts of free content. I pull "stickers" from Pinterest. There are several FB groups that offer monthly freebies (Cassies' Simple Journalling comes to top of mind). All sorts of free options.

I should add that most of them came with a stand that includes a burner.

The one with the legs is a Frisian coffee pot. I have a new one but have always lusted after an antique one. They're generally made from pewter.

More than likely, the one on the left (with the legs) is pewter. It's an old Frisian coffee pot.

When they show you who they are, believe them. I've been saying this from the moment he declared he would run again.

For me, it's Broom. Can't stand the smell plus it makes me sneeze. Thankfully, it doesn't grow well out here.

That's why I hesitate to get my hair cut and bangs are not an option for the very reason you just posted about. You have my sympathy. ๐Ÿ˜‰
