Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I'm obsessed with these Haudenosaunee Skunk Beans I grew from seed from Nictaux, NS by Annapolis Seeds: heirloom variety grown by the Haudenosaunee for centuries. They are so pretty I almost don't want to eat them (once I figure out how to cook them that is). I'm going to have the prettiest pantry! 071
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Sometimes love means @sschwinghamer.bsky.social goes out to buy me straw and seed garlic for the garden while I make him pear sauce and chow chow (I love how it looks like witches brew 🧙♀️). #NovaScotia #AICantDoThat #GrowCanadian #DomesticLabourIsLabour 141
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I was really excited to see that the new BLT Community Centre DOES have a few. 140
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 09/09/2026When you are making jelly and accidently make your kitchen look like a horror scene. Only several thousand grapes were harmed. Thanks to @sschwinghamer.bsky.social for the immediate provision of rags. #HalloweenVibesAlready 010
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 02/04/2026The problem with homeschool is that sometimes it starts off as a lesson about time signatures/rhythm and ends up with 6yo oil paintings about trench warfare and the Holocaust. I blame John Williams. A lot of ground was covered. Good lesson on difficult things. #followingcuriosity #theartsmatter 141
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 07/03/2026PSA: if your hepa filter looks like this (note, when new, it is white) it's probably not operating optimally anymore. 🤮 This is your semi annual reminder to change your filters and to clean the things that clean the things. 000

Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 16/12/2025In the summer of '99, I worked as a field assistant for Doug Morris doing GUD experiments in the badlands of southern Alberta. These bad boys kept me safe banking around rattlers on the slick clay. Now, decades later, still going strong but the terrain has changed a bit. #conspicuousnonconsumption 000
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 27/05/2025Things you can say when you work from home that you can't say in the office. "Hey Beefcake Patoot, stop being a PITA!" Cat... it was the cat... Beefcake because he's roughly the size of a small lynx and as malevolent as a púca. 020
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 28/04/2025POV: You married a social studies teacher and it's election day, so of course, your dining room looks like this... Right @sschwinghamer.bsky.social ? #dreamteam #canadavotes2025 Thank you Elections Canada for the teacher resources! 021
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 19/04/2025I'm increasingly convinced that these holidays in which the enormous amount of labour it takes to carry out traditions is hidden behind a magical overnight creature and that is largely exclusively done by women is one of the biggest labour exploitations of our modern age. 020
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 21/03/202517 years with @sschwinghamer.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️ 010
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Attention #urbanplanners, #communityplanners, and #architects. My daughter's Lego community centre is next level and I want to live there. It has a sewing machine with a waterside directly next to it that leads into a games room with a rooftop garden complete with compost and pollinators. Do it! 051
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 21/03/2025@sschwinghamer.bsky.social This #cat thought the plant WAS the basket. My geraniums!! #whyIhaveforksinmyplants 031
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 13/03/2025Today's #buycanadian is Ontario based LGBTQ+ owned Neebing & Mary. www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Neeb... They create beautiful high-quality stickers, magnets, and pins with pride, social justice, protest, and pop culture symbols and sayings. The 4 water bottle stickers I bought in 2023 are still on. 021
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Just a few of the made in Canada products I made using unpaid domestic labour that is not valued because it's traditionally performed by women but still contributed 37.2% of Canada's GDP in 2019. #InternationalWomensDay #DomesticLabourisLabour www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quo... 110
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Today's #buycanadian is annapolisseeds.com Most Canadian owned seed companies source from the US, but Annapolis is 100% Canadian, sourcing seeds from NS and PEI so you know they'll grow well here. I prioritized sustainable, storable, seed collectable, veggie protien this year. Almost grow time. 000
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Today's ##buycanadian is J.B. Fields www.jbfields.ca (available from Great Canadian Sox greatsox.com). This is a Canadian owned company manufacturing out of Toronto, ON (the wool is sourced from Australia - NOT the US). I got the kids some merinos and those XC skiers were toasty warm. 110
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Today's #buycanadian is a true refuge in Canada success story and a local NScotian delight. I've been fortunate to have met Taraq and his love for his new home is unsurpassed. Most have heard the story but if you haven't tried the chocolate yet, go now! YUM! peacebychocolate.ca/pages/our-st... 221
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 24/02/2025One the best parts of #buycanadian is the Canadian companies repping pride, flavours, and values. This is a great family owned Canadian (Moncton, NB) lip balm company (no affiliation). Moon mist!! They also have a "Beaver Butt" lip balm that's maple scented 😆🦫🍁 eclairlips.com/products/moo... 110
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 24/02/2025In a week filled with Canada, this new flavour from Chapman's might be top of the list. Shhh Don't tell @sschwinghamer.bsky.social ;) #buycanadian 🇨🇦 #canadaisdelicious 083
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 23/02/2025I needed a break from the terror of the news cycle, so I picked up these from the library to lighten the mood. #livingininterestingtimes 100
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Nothing helps me feel slightly better about the ice rink outside or toxic ooze to the south like local Canadian seeds shipped contactless to me by Canada Post for the #victorygarden (these go with a bunch of others saved from previous years - let the winter sewing begin). #halisky #buycanadian 040
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 15/02/2025It felt like a good time to take a doomscrolling break and indulge in some relaxing recovery time. I'm breaking out this book my sister gave me. Doctor, warm up your prescription pad because big pharma's got nothing on #cats. There are 3 cats in the room. I'm going to be so healthy! 210
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 14/02/2025I wish our federal departments would join Bluesky because their #dadjokes #Valentines are on fire this year. The last 2 are from Stats Can. 011
Elisabeth Tower🇨🇦 @etower.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Sometimes married romance is when you cook dinner together and he makes you a heart-shapped naan. @sschwinghamer.bsky.social 111
