Sketchbook Sarah

I’ve lost three so far! I do have access to a lot of them being that I bartend at a Legion but on Friday night I bought a new one from the bar and had lost it by the time I got in the car 🫠

The main problem with the going down is the getting up. For I am no longer as nimble as in my youth.

I don’t fight it. If it’s a floor day, it’s a floor day. Down I go.

Baked penne is 10/10, ergo you are incorrect.

I haven’t cared this much about a baseball game since about 2004. Let’s go, Blue Jays!

Happy Halloween! I got greened up to work at the bar last night. Had fun freaking out the regulars.

The lime ones are my favourite, followed by vanilla. Then it’s chocolate, lemon, orange, and whatever the pink one is I forget.

Nah I’m with him Tootsie Rolls are 10/10. I’m partial to the fruit flavour ones, but I will consume any with glee.

At least it’s mild (about 60°F which is warm for this time of year). I can remember many a Halloween costume fitting over a winter coat and snow pants 😂

Meanwhile in Nova Scotia… supposed to stop by 5PM, but we’ll see 🎃💀

I’m on the anti-mayonnaise squad, but I’m also deathly allergic to eggs, ergo I think it’s a valid feeling.

The “rule” in Canada is not before November 11th (Remembrance Day) but you’d better bet I’m putting lights up on the 12th 🎄

But what about… dip the sandwich in the soup?

Peggy’s Cove in the distance, as seen from the Polly’s Cove trail.

Went for a little hike somewhere pretty, then sat on a rock high above the water listening to the waves crash to knit a bit.

How my dog demands her dinner when I’m at my parents’ house - by going and kicking the bag of potatoes in the kitchen. #bordercollie

My friend’s husband is named Brock, but according to both mine and his wife’s phones, his name is actually Brick. 🧱

I haven’t really cared about baseball since the Expos left Montreal, but the Blue Jays need to win. 💙

I use it to dry paintings, can’t remember the last time I used a hairdryer on myself.

I had never heard about this but now I will be reading up today. The only Kon-Tiki I’d ever heard of was a bar in Montreal my parents used to frequent in the 70’s, from which several matchbooks sat in the jar they kept them in.

Learn something new every day.

Getting some fall colours now - trying to enjoy a little bit of time out in the wild, during this brief window between Bug City and Icy Hell.

Maybe he’s flying to warn them about A POISONOUS SNAKE

There’s the odd red tree, but because of the drought a lot of them skipped the pretty and went straight to brown and dried up. We’re supposed to have rain for a few days coming up - maybe after that. Still lots of green though.

This is the first time I’ve still had the air conditioner in - and running - into October. I’m not a fan. I want proper autumn! Soups! Sweaters!

I want it to be not 85 degrees so I can start making foods like this.

We’re gambling on it being cool on Sunday to roast a beef.

10/10 would eat. I even like the weird salted kind.
