One day I will visit the territories!

Map of Canada. All provinces plus the Yukon have been visited or lived in, except the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

You can definitely make some pretty safe assumptions about where I live/have lived based on this map haha

Map of United States. Green spaces show places I’ve visited or passed through. Basically, only the West Coast and border states are green.

Was supposed to go to the Islands today, but on a rainy day in Toronto, the ROM will do just fine too

Just finished this today and quite enjoyed it. Good for fans of cozy mysteries and stories set in Toronto (Scarborough!) #booksky

I love tomato season. Air quality seems a lot better today.

Absolute blast at the #BlueJays today! 6-4 win with two HRs 🙌 Kids loved running the bases (even though we waited a million years haha)

The grey squirrels are the true bosses of my neighbourhood, even more so than the raccoons. Here’s one on my back deck a few years ago, eating a whole-ass piece of bread it scavenged from god-knows-where.

What the heck is happening?! (complimentary) 😂😂💪👏👏 #BlueJays

Blue Jays now up 8-0, still top of the first

Madeline@itsmemadeline· Apr 19

I mean … Go #BlueJays go!

Jays now up 5-0 with one out and bases loaded

Madeline@itsmemadeline· Apr 19

I think we are motivated to win this game #BlueJays

Jays are up 3-0 in the first inning with no outs and runners on 1st and 2nd

I found this as well, but was less sure if it was something ?

Sadly, the Blue Jays lost, but I found my very first ever fossil down at the Beaches today!! (@dramys.bsky.social!) It’s tiny but I’m pretty excited haha

Madeline@itsmemadeline· Apr 2

My favourite part of this is that the Blue Jays actually use this line in their social media bio to this date. lolllll

Screenshot of Facebook bio for the Blue Jays. It says “literally us, the Blue Jays”

I thought Canada’s were kind of boring, but the GB ones are just terrible.

Narwhal #crochet complete! Took a while to finish it up because of some recurring tennis elbow issues, but it’s my most ambitious project so far and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out :)

Madeline@itsmemadeline· Dec 30

#crochet progress! Just fins and horn still to do for my lil narwhal

Madeline@itsmemadeline· Dec 20

One bummer of dealing with tennis elbow for the past few months has been not being able to crochet. So, I’m so happy to finally be getting back to this cute lil narwhal 😊 maybe I’ll finish over the break? #crochet
