First camellia blossom. I love having a yard with flowering plants.

I’m glad that our country is being run by men who are so well informed. Between him and “I don’t know the details about that” Johnson I have no idea why anyone would lack confidence in this administration.

Village life means that a traffic jam is caused by the lady down the street walking her sheep back home, and two other cars waiting to come the opposite way than I was headed down our one-lane, two-way road.

I really need to install a support for my phone so I can video while I’m driving.

Yes!

Evening views from my new home.

I’m not going to lie—I’m ridiculously excited about that little stone bench in my yard.

I signed the rental contract on my new house today. While I’m excited about having a house v an apartment, I think I’m mostly excited about a yard and living in a village.

😳

Why yes, I do only seem to post here when I do well on Wordle.

True. I just hate how I seem to forget words when I get most of it so early and then need a million tries. Haha.

Easy and Medium levels are always about the same times—it’s the Hard level that varies on time by several minutes for me.

I’m usually a fourth or fifth try in Wordle. I’m good with mediocre. Haha. I’m just mad that it took me that long being so close.

My first try with Pips took a while because I had to figure it out. And sometimes the hard level takes me severa minutes because they are definitely more difficult.

Ouch.

About five years ago I applied to grad school, but for multiple reasons, I wasn’t able to start classes at the time.

A few weeks ago I decided I’d try again. So here we go….

Well…

Same. 😬

Also, still super jet lagged. Apparently I’m old now.

Happy Sunday!! I’m hanging out with my plants that survived 10 weeks with my friend while I was in the States. But I’m SUPER happy to be back home and to sleep in my own bed.

Happy Birthday, Wes!! Thankful for a good prognosis for you.

Funny, because as I walked through Walmart the other day and saw animal crackers I thought, “I really miss eating those.”

Thanks! It’s about my 394th time (give or take a few), but my first to Quebec City.

I did finally buy a Starbucks mug, so now it’s official. (I don’t actually drink Starbucks, but it’s become my tradition to collect mugs in all the countries I visit.)

Spent the day wandering Quebec City. It was lovely.

I’m off on an adventure to Quebec City.

It was a good day at the ballpark.

I like visiting old things.

(I always used to think that was some sort of video camera or slide projector. But I really am sending you a hug!)

(I do not love, however, the way Bluesky makes the quality of this video appear. 😬)

It’s so awful.
