Very proud of the teen who came with me to the advance voting station to cast his vote in the Alberta referendum. He educated himself on the issues and was confident in his answers to the 10 questions. My parents would have been beaming.

You know who loves the never ending rain besides mosquitos and weeds? The hydrangeas, that's who. #yeggarden #morethan40daysofrain
Hydrangeas after two months of record-breaking rainfall in Edmonton, AB.

It's been pouring every day now for 50 eleven years and yet my plants keep showing up and reaching for the sun. I need to learn from their resilience.

After a busy afternoon in the garden, time to cool off with a flowery gin cocktail and a nice book. Cheers. 🥂

Celebrating Robbie Burns today by baking Scottish oat scones. My twist on this 500+ yr old classic was to add blueberries and blood orange.

So if flowers are the extroverts of a garden and foliage is the introverts, then Japanese gardens remind us how the quiet ones can really bring the drama.

What strange beast is this? I had to find out, and so it appears I've spotted my first ever Hericium coralloides (coral tooth fungus) on the trails today. | #yegtrails #yegnature #fungus #ediblefungus

Been dropping my teen off at his summer office job for the last couple of weeks and it's been a surprise to see him have to walk through a cloud of smokers gathered under the no smoking signs at the entranceway. I did not realize smoking was still such a thing.

There has been a young crow around the last few weeks that sounds to me like he is plaintively crying out the name Anna. My mind is reeling with fantastical origin stories for him.

Happy Summer Solstice! It arrives here in Edmonton today at 8:42 pm. In terms of daylight, today is 9 hours, 35 minutes longer than the winter solstice. (Pic taken this morning just before the sun hit my garden) ☀️ #yeggarden #yegsolstice

So. Something ate my entire newly planted Pink Flamingo alpina clematis. I have three other alpina clematis that are trying to take over the world and nothing touches them. Squirrels? #yeggarden

Messing about—very messily—with the Japanese ink my BIL left me. I don't know what project he had planned for it, but am grateful to be able to play with it.

POV opening the morning curtains expecting snow because that's what the weather app said and, instead, seeing sunshine. Then realizing you still have the app set to the city you were in, not the city you are in now.

Joined the parade of parents pulling over at the LRT station in the pre-dawn moonlight so our disheveled teens could lurch towards the platform to catch the train to campus in time for their 8:30 exams. Best of luck kids. #lastexam #hemadeit

My gr12 son this morning studying for his IB final history exam, sighing, puts his head in his hands, "why did people in the past have to do *stuff;* why did that one ape have to come down from the tree? Now *we* have to do stuff." Yes, darling, damn that ape." #momspokerface
