Indeed, perfect beach day in Toronto.

Been a while since I visited the Falls. Today featured an impulse visit cause a colleague is visiting from New Brunswick.

Cleaning up the garden and I found a small puffball growing in my garden bed. I am so excited!

The little red guy? I couldn't find it in my pocket guide, I'll have to check when I get home. Big boletes everywhere too.

I grilled a spatchcocked Portuguese marinade chicken over the campfire yesterday with sweet potatoes, hakurei turnips and radishes. It was amazing and torture while it was cooking.

I'm camping near North Bay, ON and there are so many cool fungi. Lots of Amenita muscaria in different stages. Anyhoo here are a few cool squishy bois.

My dog is a very sweet soul who is obsessed with Highland Coos ever since he spent a few days lost in the woods and was adopted by a herd of cows. I took him to see some today.

Behold the bountiful harvest this morning.

I ended up with 32 pints and 9 jars of the old Classico jars. I caved and got a new food mill. Everything hurts.

6 jars of tomato sauce on a counter. There are more jars in the background.

I made 21 jars of tomato sauce yesterday. We still have a half bushel to get through. I am full of regret. There's a reason I only do this every second year.

Behold, a bushel of tomatoes. That's about 22 kg, or 50 pounds.

The dog and I spotted a doe on our evening walk to the creek. He was more excited about the skunk at the other side of the park. Merlin also picked up an Eastern screech owl during that walk. And yes, I live in Canada's largest city.

Behold! The single bean my scarlet runner beans produced so far. But I've still got plenty of flowers and tendrils happening, and lots of pollinators visiting, so I'm hopeful.

Adorable skunk babies everywhere. 🦨 I counted 9 skunks tonight, I think only 2-3 were adults. They are so cute 🥰 but I have a very curious doggo.

Took the DOGGO on an adventure tonight. He got to ride the subway and he was such a good boy.

Found a tomato hornworm in my garden. Currently debating if I let him be or feed the thing to birds.

Half eaten green tomato still on the vine. A large tomato hornworm is next to it.

I've always heard spoo in my circle but he produces enough to be a pood. 💩 Here's the dearly departed bearded spooman.

The compromise is that I have to reseed the lawn when we eventually move out. My neighbourhood does not have many veggie or pollinator gardens on the front lawns so I must look completely unhinged standing by my tomatoes yelling at the poodle. Dog tax because.

Let me present to you my garden of chaos...

The garden tomatoes are suddenly ripe and I'm in an absolute frenzy. I made ratatouille on the BBQ tonight.

This morning's radish harvest. I went overboard on the planting so everything is radish right now.

Meanwhile in Canada, our (legit) edibles are all very bland in their packaging.

I try hard not to buy snack foods but then I'm forever annoyed with myself for not having snack foods. Chips is a big one. My bestie and I had a whole text exchange last night about rules for eating chips. Have you ever had Storm Chips? These were a revelation.

Sitting on a flight to Montreal right now and the passenger in front of me keeps flirting with me. Blue is a very good boy.

Who doesn't entangle themselves in their mulberry tree with a rake on a Monday after work and make 8 jars of jam that night? Right?

My dog keeps trying to sniff people on the bus. We are working on his manners.

It's loonie dogs night and we paid $9 each for our #BlueJays tickets. We have had 8 hot dogs between us... And 4 Tums.

I'm pleased with my boule so far. I used my go to recipe: 1 cup whole wheat flour, 3 cups AP flour, 1 cup active starter, 1ish cup of water, 1 tsp sea salt. I've been using this recipe for a good 8-9 years now.

My office in my new home has a built in bookshelf and I'm pleased as punch about it.

What do you mean it's not normal to own 3 kinds of rolling pins?

Moved some stuff into our new home today and pulled out this much ragweed.
