It's getting cold I had to take both my cactus (Iggy + Bowie) in from the front porch. They've been having a growth spurt and I didn't want to kill their vibe, so I set them up in what I call "fern gully" alongside my partners basil plants. Hope they keep on growing. (1 of 3 of my indoor gardens.)

One really fun thing about watching Below has been pointing out the exact locations of places as they pop up on screen, right down to "look - it's the start of that hiking trail that brings out to the Brigus lighthouse." This one was easy though, they filmed a scene in that covered wharf.

Whoa - number one on Netflix today. I expected this to hit the top ten but didn't expect to see the top spot. This is all anyone can talk about on the island today. At this point I'm nervous that Josh Hartnett's worst Newfoundland accent in the history of the world is going to become the standard.

As someone who has exclusively lived in Newfoundland my entire life and surrounded by fishermen: I have never seen a fisherman that looked remotely like this.

We're switching lanes from summer to fall so my houseplant routine is shifting a bit towards less watering and more monitoring. I have no idea what holiday my holiday cactus is. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter? I don't know, hoping it'll flower in a few weeks and I'll narrow down exactly what it is

I am very eager to see what this flower looks like when it blooms, which is looking like it's going to be any day now.

I love the pose in front of the St. John's wall paper. If Mary Brown's Chicken is probably the most famous thing to come from Newfoundland at this point. (Maybe Come From Away? Maybe the Titan Submersible Tragedy? I think the old local chicken place going international/MLB sponsor tops all it.)

Gotta stop buying plants when I run out for groceries. But I'm a sucker for ferns.

Got everyone gathered together for a group shot last night. (Not pictured; two money trees, five cactus, a lipstick plant, a jelly bean plant and half a dozen spider plants.)

I don't think I have a reason to not show off my plants on the internet. I don't have a reason to either. But the world has gone to shit and the shit keeps getting worse so what difference does it make? These African Violets perk my mood slightly, it'll probably do the same for someone else.

Late March snowstorm so once again I'm frying up a big feed of toutans. Which you should probably give a go yourself at some point because I promise you, deadly ol' comfort food. It's super easy. You pan fry bread dough in butter. You can't go wrong.

We're sliding out of what I'm hoping will be the last real cold snap of the winter and starting to see a lot of the sun, so trying to get these lads to soak up what they can. I'm a little concerned for the dottie who seemed to have a tough time the last few weeks, but hopefully it bounces back.

Snow Day brings about two feet of snow, a bunch of rain and a saw-whet owl to the backyard. Didn't expect to cross a bird off my list while frying up breakfast, but there I was. #birds #birdwatching

Put a full spectrum grow bulb in my standing lamp in the corner of the living room to make sure all these lads get enough light through this last stretch of winter. My dotted calathea at the back is unraveling it's new leaf, but I'm still not sure if it likes this bulb or not. See how the week goes

Gave the Majesty Palm the full spa day treatment this afternoon. I still wonder what the hell I was thinking buying this 5 ft tall monster on impulse. Newfoundland in Winter is not the time to make any kinda Palm thrive, but I'm pretty dedicated to making this thrive. (My cat, however - is not.)

In the artist department, I'm not overly skilled. But I am pretty persistent in exploring ideas and trying to develop more of a skillset. My oil paintings are the best example of lack of talent. But, the large peacock I slapped on canvas in the fall went home to go on someone else's wall yesterday.

Got a deal on some new work boots today. These really needed to retire. I'm rough as hell on my work boots, these are a year old.

Life's rough and the world is scary. But, let's all have a gawk at the gryfalcon I saw the weekend. Pretty chill guy.

On Monday nights I try to clean out my freezer by tossing shit into a pan and/or air fryer. I should try and eat a vegetable some day.

I'm typically not a fan of fireworks I do appreciate a well organized and produced display of them. (Sucker for flashy lights and pretty colours I guess.) Anyway - photo memories reminding me of that time we stumbled upon the national firework competition. (Australia, think they won that year.)

Bit far out, but I spotted it while driving this morning. Iceberg season a little late this year, seems to be a bit of a whopper. Moving pretty fast and likely going to be visible from Signal Hill by today or tomorrow. Also - since when does Newfoundland get summer in early June?

So I guess by a technicality we've got the highest rate for youth vaping on earth. We're also one of the foggiest places on earth so this all checks out.

Look at this big ol' chonky fella I met earlier the week. My boot size is 12 for reference. He was pretty insistent on head scratches and obviously well fed. His name was Garry according to the tag.

I wish she'd stop doing this. We don't let her in the bathroom because the first chance she gets she's up there looking down on us in protest of not letting her into the bathroom to climb up there. These stand off's can go on for quite some time.

Tomorrow will be two weeks since my olfa knife bit me real good. Gonna have a pretty bad ass scar on my middle finger and that's kinda cooler than a knuckle tattoo.

I've been finding Northern Flicker feathers around my job site and hearing it occasionally. (He also came up on Merlin, so I knew he wasn't far.) This afternoon while eating my lunch in my car I noticed it was on the lawn hanging out and making friends with the Starlings.

A local Newfoundland hockey legend passed away, the first to play in the NHL back in the early 60's. Anyway - someone on the local news team is looking to spice up a story.

I acquired this thing years ago when a neighbor borrowed a few bucks and couldn't pay me back. I've only touched it once or twice in the years I've owned it. But today I'm thinking I'm going to tune it up and see how disgusting it sounds in a Big Muff with intentions of using it on a track somehow.

I have a Nirvana shirt I was given for Christmas a few years ago and earlier today it occurred to me that Dave Grohl looks like the face on the album art for Jane Doe by Converge.

My car dash is reading 19 degrees - one notch shy of 20 and it's still technically winter, in Newfoundland at that. Keeping up with that weird trend we had of only a few weeks of snow on the ground. (My tire also needs some air and has for a long time.)

Here's the funny thing about the Total Lunar Eclipse. I live right beneath that red line, so I'm expecting to look up and see something really wild.
