Florence + the Machine are pretty fucking cool. Went to the show in Montreal!

This summer we named our new kitten Mochi, so every time you post about your Mochi, I do a double take

This was what the maple bugs looked like in June as I began my summer of murder.

I also have a beef against our crab apple tree which is too tall to pick from, but at least it’s only been problematic since mid-August. Making a freaking mess out there now but at least it gives us beautiful shade.

I sat in a different part of our yard during lunch today. That was nice.

Said an unexpected goodbye to this beautiful derpy girl a couple of weeks ago. Amélie, I miss you. Thank you for choosing me.

Definitely will be doing less walks through the wildflowers in shorts!! Got some real beauty pics like this one though

I use two daily bird apps. They approach their marketing so very differently 😂 Also if I know you in real life and you want to add me, DM me for my info!

Two app icons featuring birds. Duolingo icon is intense with an owl that looks head-bonked featuring X-shaped pupils and a drooping tongue. Finch icon is a cute birb lovingly blowing a kiss shaped like a heart.

I’m moving tomorrow and just realized this is the last night I’ll spend in the house I’ve owned for 17 years. I’ve never lived anywhere even remotely that long! A lot happened here. The worst and the best. Glad I invested in this place, loved it so much, excited to be done with it.

It’s “geese family holding up traffic” season! One of my fave seasons.

Said goodbye to my 17-year old baby today 💔 Felt impossible but she was ready. She was the very best dog.

Sadly they did not work and I said goodbye to her today 💔 It’s been a hard day at the end of a hard week. I’ll miss her forever but it was also definitely time and she had a long and adventure-filled life of love.

This 17-year old baby is having a really hard week. We’re going to the vet at lunch and I’m worried. I know her time is soon, I just don’t know when. Her quality of life isn’t great anymore.

Someone on Reddit 2 hours ago posted about this being announced quietly! Apparently an article on CBC? I haven’t checked yet

Headline “Regina quietly announces $35 million in federal housing funds”

Speaking of terrifying, just got this spam text and feeling kinda shaken. First thoughts were do I know them? Is it a particularly scary person from my past? Ugh. Anyway, blocked.

Caring for an almost 17-year old dog includes a lot more searching for the source of blood than I expected 😬 Anyway at least her new lump is explained. Photo of the culprit enjoying her walk the other day.

Brazilian carrot cake absolutely does too!! Its usually made in one of those round Bundt pans. Here is one without the traditional chocolate topping.
