A tired, somewhat cranky, indiscriminately middle aged son of a farmer, who is making a life for myself in the city with my hubby. My dm’s are open ☺️

Made saucy meatless meatballs with a sweet-and-sour sauce of cranberry sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, lemon juice and hot sauce. 😂 Sounds like a fridge-clearout fever dream, tastes like a culinary success... Sometimes the weirdest combinations really work. 🍒🔥

Playing with my comb, styling my hair …Apparently a middle part in my hair just sent me straight back to being a tween, when “adorably dorky” wasn’t an aesthetic; it was my entire brand(Some things never change😜). Tempted to keep the middle part…I hear geek chique is in????

I’m all for kids taking part in fun charity runs(pets too!)…but parents, please teach them not to suddenly stop in the middle of the lane and bend over to tie a shoe.😩 Nearly squashed one like a bug & rolled my ankle trying to avoid them. Nothing says “charity run” quite like donating an ankle.🥴

Up at silly-o’clock after a late shift for a charity run, with a knee that’s already bothering me. If you hear on the morning news about a gangly middle-aged kook who couldn’t control his limbs, tripped, causing a massive pileup of elbows, knees & ankles…don’t worry. It was probably just me. 😂

One step closer to cozy fire season! 🔥 New-to-us glass screen, cast-iron tools, & now all I need is colder weather, a sofa relocation, & somehow figure out the flue before I accidentally turn the basement into a smokehouse. 😂

Beautiful sunny Sunday, my last day of staycation, and going to celebrate it the best way I know how: good people around the table! Currently prepping BBQ veggie burgers, a couple of “salads,” and homemade pumpkin pie with ice cream for dinner.☀️🍔🥗🥧 Add a cold beer, and it’s pretty perfect Sunday!
Summer pasta salad with a zippy tomato based dressing Cold rice salad an 80’s recipe my mom used to make when I was a kidPumpkin pie all puffed up in the oven while i was checking for doneness….

Woken just before 6 a.m. by my framed coin collection launching itself off the wall like it had finally had enough of my shit(the sawtooth hanger came off the frame).💥‼️ Bad omen? Or morning coffee time? Either way, my nerves are about to get more jittery...3/4 pot of coffee has been consumed ☕️😜

Met up the other day with the divine Ms Y, former colleague & retail war veteran, who arrived bearing homemade moon cakes🥮 Something about “buttering me up” for Christmas baking & a comparison to it being crack cocaine😂 Whatever the logic, these delicious treasures are now being rationed like gold✨

3 months ago, my trees were freshly pruned. Fast-forward to this morning, and they’ve apparently regrown out of pure spite. 🌲🌳😂 Today, a full Texas Chainsaw Massacre reenactment with hedge trimmers. The 🍃 bin is FULL, a big pile by the shed, & I’ve tackled 3 cedars, 2 elms, 1 bush, & a mugo pine.

The best way to describe the scent of honey & lemon simmering on the stove? Liquid sunshine. 🍋🍯☀️ Sweet, bright & warm… then, just as I have this thought, my pot boils over. Cue me lamenting the loss of some of my precious preserves while cussing the smoke, mess, & extra cleaning I’ve just earned. 🥴

Dear Lord, why am I wide awake at 1 a.m. with “The Teddy Bears’ Picnic” blasting in my brain? 🧸🎶 Of ALL the songs, my brain chose to host a woodland rave…Bears in leather, rabbits behaving scandalous. And me? Dead tired & held hostage by a flipping teddy bear melody…🤷‍♂️

I guess this is about as fresh and sassy as this middle-aged man can manage. 😏 The vanity’s lighting is doing some heavy lifting, but I’ll take my chances. 😉 Not sure about my jewelry choice…thoughts?

I’ve been thinking about the blueberry banana bread ever since it went in the oven. 🫐🍌🍞 Now I just need to stop myself from eating half the loaf the second it cools! 😂

Well, that’s a first! 🍎🥧😂 My apple pie created so much gooey, delicious juice that it bubbled right over the edge and made a wonderfully apple-scented mess in my oven. I suppose there’s no better time to finally try out that self-cleaning function. 🍂🔥 September is off to a deliciously messy start. ❤️

Tom Mulcair: Reading between the lines of Trump’s uncharacteristically muted Sunday morning response
Former NDP leader Tom Mulcair argues that while Prime Minister Mark Carney was right to walk away from American demands, the only way to avert a post-Labour Day employment crisis is for him to bypass subordinates and negotiate directly with Donald Trump.

My one sunflower got knocked into a dramatic lean in the crazy wind two weeks ago, while the other is still shooting straight up like she’s got places to be. 🌻 I’m just standing next to them feeling dainty and demure. 💅

One of my sunflowers finally opened! 🌻 According to the hubby, it’s officially ginormous—over 6 feet tall…🥴. For scale: my pup and my 6’7” self are providing the official height chart. 😂🌻

I seldom post full-length photos of myself because I’m not fond of seeing my size disparity next to others. But someone recently said they didn’t believe I was actually 6’7”, so here’s photographic evidence—with my camera-shy hubby, who is 5’8”. The height difference is undeniable. 😂

While on a trip, browsing a used bookstore, I stumbled upon a book tucked in the back. My heart stopped—it was about my grandparents’ village, more than 1,025 km away, a place I never expected to see here. Then I realized… I’m actually in the book.😳📚 I can’t describe the feeling—what are the odds?!

Fresh-picked raspberries folded into vanilla yogurt tonight, and suddenly I’m back at Grandpa H’s raspberry patch—sitting on the step with a bowl of berries, sugar, and cream. Funny how the simplest flavours can carry an entire childhood with them. ❤️

Twenty-two years together, and today is the anniversary of our very first date…. I was so smitten that I spent my bus fare to buy him a cookie(also his birthday). Somehow I still made it home, and 22 years later, I’d happily spend my last dollar on him all over again. Happy anniversary. ❤️🏳️‍🌈🍪
