Two bees sleeping in a cactus flower.

Desert quail inhabiting a desert landscape. Male and female quail are present. Lots of native trees, bushes and cacti as well as a bird feeder and a modern wooden bench.

I absolutely love that nature is coming back to our yard. Looks like we have a total of 4 families claiming their new home. Welcome. I’d like to get a fountain going for them before summer comes.

Tis the season.

Many bikes parked out in front of the metro station in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Netherlands had lots of bikes, but the cycling culture in Denmark hit differently. Kids, families, friends all riding together.

She’s done, on the outside :)

Stop sign that reads “slow”

This week I need to go slow. With the future ahead, I need to enjoy the present.

The weekend starts meow.

Paint me like your French cats.

Oh I live in the US but have never felt welcomed, albeit every tax dollar spent and picking up English with ease. Canadians are honestly the kindest, but they won’t let you push them around and know their worth!

This video is so spot on and makes me proud to be a Canadian.

Ok

I would have waited until Swiss citizenship actually came through before renouncing because now you’re technically not a citizen of any country and that could be problematic, no? I have 3 so I always play the cards right before making a move.

Yes fair, I got you! Because most fail to look or research and likely your response will be as much research as one will do, it’s important (to me at least) to make it clear that many other folks pay taxes, not only citizens.

Sorry, that is simply not true. Undocumented migrants paid over $90B in taxes in 2022.

Correction: only those with right to work status, green card and citizenship , h1B, (and many many many others), pay taxes. Even undocumented immigrants pay taxes.

Tell me more? I’m considering this too. Can you go back to green card? I regret moving through with citizenship and should just have stayed with green card. Are you living outside the US?

I grew up going to this stadium. We never booed the other team. We always cheered for our team. So this… is quite an important change to note.

French lavender in a planter box overlooking a desert landscape.

Slow mornings are my favorite. The lavender is also quite refreshing to smell.

Weekend is in full bloom
