All of my gardens were ruined by hail,flooding and wind on July 05. At least 50K in damage to my property. Mother Nature took away, and then she gave back.

Look what I found in town!!! Thank you for posting about it! I would never have discovered it, shoved off to the side, without you. 😁

My late uncle was RCMP in Trail, so we're related. Lol. I saw the same thing in Winnipeg after a huge snowfall (likely average by your standards) but where I am now...it's always visibility. This was my typical winter drive to work, 50 km away...ugh. Great truck, ATV tires...no help. 😂

If only I could mentally Walmart these to you from Manitoba. The name says it all--fresh curds must squeak. 😋

Lol well he seems healthy! Jeez how small is your car?? I had both my cats in carriers on the passenger seat of my truck, slightly drugged, on the trip to our new house. This tummy is tight as a drum 😂

My trapezoid girl. She's not fat, she's fluffy.

I'll have to dig around and look for the one Arkenstone CD I have. Do some streaming, maybe. Meanwhile...here it is. Yellow pepper instead of green, and black beans instead of white kidneys. Letting it simmer longer than 15 min, and added my fave ingredient--dark chocolate.

I did a preliminary check online. The RCMP has a govt site very similar to what I see for CPP Disability. I didn't go further to see the cost. But I've chosen a non-restrictive scoped rifle, made in Canada, about $1500. Who needs a snowblower? 🙄

Rime ice can be OT for Hydro, but my town has been magical for days. And nights. 🌙

I wish mine would come back it entertained my black b*stard, but a good source of food, my rotten old maple, was dropped two years ago. This is the definition of cold...😂

It's up to Winnipegers, then. CoW doesn't care about anything but the mighty buck, one of many reasons I retired from there. Here's one decal I have on a window where I live now. Way, way more birds in this town and not one strike since I added decals. $2 each.

Every guy I dated, except one. He is a tough dude.

Yes...my father was a gentle soul, and he didn't talk much about the North Atlantic. I made him this collage from restored photos, and found this model, that he spent hours glueing together, 35 years ago. Those ships were something else..

I am finding that in general, they are smarter than deer. Regardless, I do not go to work in the dark; their eyes do not reflect light. My last day of work for the season, last April. Momma and yearling. I pulled over to let them cross safely.

It has issues, being over 130 years old, but I swear...it was waiting for me. I may have lost a few m² inside, but the size of the yard...and this veranda...I live out here all summer. 💚

A bit of Canadian happiness. Delivery by the best courier known to mankind, of Canadian-made cat food in a box taped with "sealed with happiness" Kraft tape from Pet Valu, one of the few Canadian companies that ships to the boonies for free.❤️🇨🇦

Here's a distraction from politics. I am a Manitoba certified Arborist and this is what Davey Tree Service did to my Blvd ash....Jesus guys, drop the tree! That is...embarrassing....

I moved here from the city. I can breathe....

Or on an average winter day when I have to drive 50km in this....mist has a nicer connotation to me, this is just bloody fog....lol

Here's my big wood thumper; he wasn't happy that my rotten old maple was taken down, so now the Hydro pole is his victim.
