When I busted my wrist I couldn’t use a can opener but I found one of those old openers with one of those pointed tips on it. Resourcefulness!

A pot with stew simmering on a stove, and a can with old-style jagged lid open next to the stove on a counter.

Grrrrr, I hates it when my consumption estimates are off.

A red-rimmed sandwich plate with the remains of a tasty afternoon snack evident. There is some type of jam, all gone but smears left, three triscuit crackers and four slices of excellent triple-cream Brie cheese.

Saw a video on tiktok that was a fellow showing everyone his favourite colour - green lit up by a sunbeam. If you’d asked me, I’d have said eggplant was my fave colour. But thinking about it, I think it might be the fiery pink-orange of a PEI sunset. What’s yours?

A view of a sunset from across a small ocean bay.

There are some layered clouds in the sky, pines and other trees on the far shore, and oyster baskets in the water in the bay. The sun will set soon, and the sky is lit up with an intense mix of yellows and oranges and pinks with a little grey and blue closer to the top edge.

The trees and baskets are backlit, so read as black.

The sky is afire with a riot of colour.

I get the housing crisis is dire, but this ad goes kinda hard, eh? 😳

A cerdarwood shiplap-clad garden shed tucked into the corner of a backyard, with a footprint of approximately 6’ x 8’. A small square window is seen in the door and two are located on one side. The shingled roof is angled down on one side for precipitation drainage.

GIF of an Easter bunny dipping his tush in a can of red paint, and then smacking it onto an assembly line of Easter eggs, leaving a heart-shaped print on each one.

Saturday sunshine 🌞

View of a hallway toward a door. Walls are built from logs. Sunlight is pouring through the window in the door, lighting up an umbrella tree, the green of the leaves reflected on the floor and in a full-length mirror mounted on the right wall.

Atop a maple bookcase on the left are crystal vessels, one containing dried hydrangeas, the other decorative baubles. Some clothing items and a purse hang from hooks.

Of course this is what it looks like currently - full disclosure

A snowy vista, including pine, willow and birch trees blanketed with snow. A car is parked in the drive, snow is 4” deep on top.

I got patted on the head and told he was ‘just trolling’ when he started talking about annexing Canada. We have everything he wants. We always have. This is a real problem and an existential threat.

Screenshot of CBC.ca story indicating he would be willing to use ‘economic force’ to join Canada and the United States together.

The wind’s blowing pretty much sideways at this point

Join me. I’ll make tomato soup and grilled cheese in a bit, but for right now, let’s just … be.

Cottage interior view, roaring fire in a woodstove, a hand holding cappuccino made with Baileys Irish in a stout mug with Mayan artwork on the sides, rainbow stripey knit socked feet up on the coffee table.

It’s been a challenging 24 hours, it’s blowing a hoolie outside, time for some quiet, warmth, and relaxation.

Let’s go clamming.

A quintessential PEI beachy scene. Red cliffs and sand, bubbles left behind by the waves, blue sky, scattered clouds backlit by the sun.

Maybe I’ll share some pictures that I’ve taken. How would that be?
