Saw the term “bloomscrolling” and loved the idea… but it’s still too cold where I live to offer much. So, instead… puppies! 😍 #feedcleanse #dogsofbluesky #sundayscroll

Yaaaaasssssssss!!!

Okay… gotta ask who are #1&2…

😂 Welcome! Can I get you a tea and lap blanket? 😘

When days are long and nights are busy, date night turns into #Sunday #lunch at #linas #italian #market. 😋 Bonus: lines of dialogue from #80s #lyrics from last night’s improv show at Loose Moose. 😜 #sotasty #greatatmosphere #ohhhhyeahhh

Looks like it's time for #secondwinter? Or is it third? ❄️ #frosty #friday High of +13°C last Wednesday, and low of -26°C by Monday. 🥶 That's a 55°F to -15°F for you non-Canucks. 😉 #gardensky #naturemoments

Every. Single. Day. 😞 But it is also mended daily by a chosen few. 💗

#Throwbackthursday to when I tried flat #needlefelting. 🪡Needing a #colourpop on these grey winter days 🦊… or maybe I’m just feeling a little #stabby. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #craftsky #artsandcrafts #fox #nature

What if… you practiced #positivethinking even for just a little while today? 🤔 Focussing on the amazing #possibilities rather than… well… going to a limited or dark place. 🌻 Plant some beautiful seeds to MAKE good things happen, friends. 💪🏻 #whatifwednesday #possibilities #reframing

I love that things like this are your favourite. 💗

This post reads like my own mantra for good living. 🙌🏻

I wish smell-o-vision and taste-o-tasting (?) existed!!! Yummm! 😋

#Homemade #tacotuesday 🌮 with #guacamole . Cooked up some beef for the hound, so we went classic this time. Looking into vegetarian options that aren’t all beans. Thoughts?

Easy like #sunday #morning. ☀️ #housefinches #housesparrows #housedog

For posterity. 🧶 Found something in the plants today. 😉 Some birthday gift crafting for my gamer. #pikmin #crochet #blanketyarn #yellow #daisy

Collage. Watercolours and ink. Quotation. Ahhhh… #icad2023 #artcard #throwbackthursday

Yesss! ANY action is better than no action… personally, I alternate between one bamboo toothbrush and one with plastic, organic/sustainable products and conventional ones, some home-grown foods and store-bought, etc. It adds up without resulting in burnout. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sure! Start with quality spuds - these are third or forth generation from organic potatoes I picked up at Community Natural. I use the trench method: make hills+valleys in the dirt and bury in the valley. As greens grow, move dirt over to cover… until they are buried in hills. Water when dried out.

Yesss!!!

Whoa! Just saw two #baldeagle fly by while waiting at the lights. In January. In Alberta. 👀 Perhaps it has something to do with the #polarvortex out east? #citizenscience #albertabirds #twoforjoy
