dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Time to pull out a chair and pour a glass of wine 1120
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I thought the rains had come for good but we are getting 3 glorious days of sun. What a lovely start to October! I am pulling my flowers bit by bit, while babying my hand, because I know the rain will be back. 2110
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 25/09/2026There is just something about a sunny September day. The days are certainly getting shorter now. Enjoying this late afternoon. 2150
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I was busy gardening last week as I had carpal tunnel surgery on my hand yesterday. No gardening for a while now. Pulled some nearly finished flowers, but the bees weren’t happy with that. This begonia still amazes me. One plant that just keeps on going! 9280
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Such a lovely September evening. Humidity starting to come down. 0200
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 02/09/2026The sun is setting above the fog and in comes the mist. The tide is so low. 2312
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Our last day on Haida Gwaii. We are in Daajing Giids tonight, catch the ferry to Prince Rupert in the morning and get home to Terrace tomorrow night. It has been a great week. 1180
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Here are the books I read this August. I liked them all, but “Into The Dark“ a little less. I enjoy the other series. If you haven’t read Dervla McTiernan, try her. 💫📚💙 0100

dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Our little off grid cabin on the North Beach, right in the dunes. No electricity, rain water for washing dishes, bottled water for drinking, a little propane cookstove and a wood stove to keep us warm. 1160
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 25/08/2026The wharf at Port Clements. You could see tons of salmon in the water and jumping. 0100

dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Had a great weekend camping, perfect weather. Off grid, of course, so it is going to take a while for me to catch up. 2343
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 06/08/2026OMG! There were hundreds of words in my birth year! One being margarita. Very appropriate. 230
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 03/08/2026This one is for you @sproutastic.bsky.social 190
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 03/08/2026The rain has finally stopped and my flowers have survived. Some in my pots were flattened a little, but here come the August gardens. 4161
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Well, someone cut the cables again and took out the cable vision, internet and phones for the whole day yesterday across the northwest. We really need a second line and need to stop these people. Meanwhile, some more great live music last night, Mercedes Brown and this is the Ezra Beaton Trio. 070
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Riverboat Days started in Terrace today. After the parade, lots going on including Concerts in the Park all afternoon and evening. Terrace loves live music! And the rain held off. 170
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Not much reading happened this month. It was a very busy month. Take a step back in time to get a vision on what went on before Slow Horses (excellent). I really like Louise Penny, but this one didn't quite do it for me. The plot was a little unbelievable for me. (Why?) #SlowHorses ⚡️📚💙 1110

dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 15/07/2026It has been so cold, windy and rainy this summer. Finally we have sun, and with it heat. Looking at 28 to 33 degrees C the next while. A few garden pics. 1150
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Camping at Lakelse Lake with friends for the week. Last night it absolutely poured for about 3 hours. I am viewing the rain from a covered area, thank goodness! 1170
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 21/06/2026The longest day, the first day of summer and I was up at 5:30. It is going to be a beautiful, hot day today. Happy Fathers Day Dads and hugs to all of us that are missing ours. 2130

dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 19/06/2026My spiderlings on my verandah. I can’t resist giving them a small touch and watch them scatter a little and then come back together. Spiders are totally welcome on my verandah but not in my house😂 090
dsmithnorth.bsky.social @dsmithnorth.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Back home and it would seem my gardens have survived. A lovely, light rain today is appreciated. And, my favourite poppy is blooming. 1140
