Cutting back some of the hydrangeas today…even my bins look pretty 😊
Bright yellow autumn leaves act as a backdrop to my hydrangeas.

Does this count as an Indian summer if it’s only for two days?

Doesn’t this grotesque douchebag have companies to run instead of speaking on other country’s politics? Piss off you toad.

Good morning 👋. A rainy fall day here today and I’m loving it. The smell of a wet autumn forest is just a balm for the soul. Have a wonderful day!

I feel the same about my parents, it would have destroyed them.

My husband had shingles when he was in his 40’s and it was awful. Glad we got the shots…really expensive but worth it for us.

I hope that peace and decency win in the States it just seems that every day that goes by we hear more and more craziness. My mom, who was a little German girl in the 1940’s, said that Trump was exactly like Adolf and people laughed at her. She was right all along.

Yeah the world is watching Kimm. Sometimes I think we get more info than you guys down there. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, I’m waiting to crack my champagne on the big beautiful day.

Elke🇨🇦 @elkep.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Morning Jean! Yeah I’m glad we got them too. Better a couple of days feel crappy than actually getting shingles. Enjoy your day.

It’ll be worth it (that’s what I keep telling myself). I’d rather be sickly for a few days than get shingles.

Hope you’re doing well Richard.

Wasn’t what I hoped for but at least it’s a minority government 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was happy to wake up to the fact that they got a minority. I have to say I’m so glad the CAQ is gone.

Wow still really warm there! I have to say I’ve been waiting for sweater weather and am loving these cool temps.

That gives me hope! Our pharmacist said the second dose is worse. I’ll like your pharmacist better!

Thanks Spicy! I’m dreading the after effects but I know it’s nothing compared to actually getting shingles.

Elke🇨🇦 @elkep.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
We were quite run down with the first shot so I’m hoping this time we’ll only feel the effects for three days too.
