Nice to see things continuing at a pretty low level.

Brave chickadees are indeed cool. A great bird intro for kids also.

Smoothly blenderized partially ripe tomatoes have made a lovely orange colour.

My ex is a better gardener than me. No doubt being retired helps helps him. He got tired of canning tomatoes, so last week he gave me a giant bag of green tomatoes. I've cooked up about a third of the ripest ones. Now blenderized to go in the freezer.

Blenderized soup that has it's colour very influenced by beets.

We got tired of the roasted veggie supper leftovers so we made soup. The few beets in the mix made it very pink! Chicken now cut up and to be added back in.

Loutro Beach on the island of Crete. A small boat with a man in it hovers on top of turquoise water. In the distance, brilliant white stores and homes line the cove. There are no roads to get here. Boat is everything. #greece #travel #sea #holiday #crete

Sunrise with some golden clouds reflecting in the water. Dock in foreground . Cedars on the shore on the left. Some distinctive white pines visible on opposite shore.

Last sunrise at my parents' cottage for the season. Likely just another day trip to take out the water.

When will ICE release the hostages?

Have I mentioned today how much I LOVE scrolling my TL and encountering the @altheroes.bsky.social badge?

Thank you for using alt text and for subscribing to the badge so that we can tell you are a safe account.

Is it Friday yet?

How can anyone witness this and not conclude that these ICE agents are cruel and lawless? Such cowardly actions.

No wonder his friends “love” him…

The lion’s share, of at least $82 million, was tracked to one company, Rubicon Strategy, which is led by Premier Doug Ford’s former campaign manager Kory Teneyke.

Where’s that #RCMP investigation at?

Autocorrect is a fickle friend.

And some people can't figure out why tourism from Canada has decreased. I'm avoiding most made in USA foods (for pets and humabs) as I don't trust the safety standards.

Construction delays ate up way too much of my lunch time as I traveled between schools today. Gulping down my sandwich in a school parking lot is a recipe for indigestion. Sigh. #OntEd

Holding steady.

Wow!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Speaking of untethered from reality...

Nothing more than time served. My first thought was to wonder how soon Ottawa would have another convoy under their "leadership".

Why was Doug suddenly so hostile towards speed cameras IN SCHOOL ZONES?

Now we know.

Ford remains a grifting ignoramus who DOES NOT CARE about things as straightforward as children crossing the road to get to school.

I'm on the side of science and safety of our food supply.

Our after dinner walk featured a lovely full moon. Weirdly warm.

What? Are those manly ICE officers fighting with each other on the way home? It really is a sad indictment of North American culture that there are so many willing to be ruthless ICE officers. Sadly, I think a similar portion of Canadians would jump into a similar role given a chance.

I do not love #Winter. However, 30C in #Ottawa in October seems really wrong. #ClimateChange

What kind of a cowardly human treats a person this way?

This is also the better tune for Amazing Grace.

I love this framing of the current Republicant decision making.

Where is this COSTCO with a half full parking lot? My local COSTCO is always like a mall at Christmas with cars following you as you leave the store to be a vulture for your spot.

Too bad they are listening to the people that believe only the rich deserve quality education for their children. Or believe that only "Christian" education delivered at home matters.
