It's been wild. Both big fires are across the lake. It was just horrible bad luck these fires were sparked (accidently) on the windiest day this summer 😔 This was the view from our deck last night. We are absolutely fine but I have several friends evacuated

In the midst of watching fires grow, worry about friends having to evacuate & power outages I decided to make Ciabatta Buns. The power went out just as I was going to bake the buns. Put out an SOS to my bread guru @sailorgirl2017.bsky.social Pleased...now I need to try with no interuptions

Another weekend another day of listening and watching the Air Boss fleet fight a fire across the Lake (Okanagan) from us. This one started late at night so resources were delayed. On it now truly talented pilots. #ThankAFirefighter

Yes the Totems are amazing and you will see more at UBC. Of all my memories I have to say my son's wedding at the Tea House is pretty much #1 Aug 2012

My husband is over at my son's place feeding the animals. He lives directly across the Lake from the Fintry fire. This was how it looked about 30 minutes ago (about 8:30pm) Let's hope the cooler weather helps tonight

Joanne 🇨🇦 ELBOWS UP🇨🇦@joanneb1055· 21d

We just had a fire start across the lake from us. Within 45 minutes we had a team of Air Boss water bombers and two or three fire retardant planes attacking the fire.

Do not...I repeat DO NOT touch any snack in the hotel room. It's on sensors. My DIL (when she worked there) delivered this to us for Valentine's Day. We moved stuff in the fridge to keep things cold....good thing we knew staff 😉

Most of my US friends and family are being rather low key with celebrations. I did approve this meme the most

Not sure what I enjoy making more mini hippos or mini ducks. So much fun and so easy. Both of them. #Crochet #Amigurami

I absolutely love this for my almost 7 year old granddaughter. I am buying used hockey skates for her. Unheard of in my generation. My friend's daughter (almost 13) has PWHL aspirations and I'm so pleased for both girls...all girls that can choose to play. Totally her pink dress and hockey pads

Bunny is done except for the face. I really am not fond of embroidering the eyes and nose but it's for a baby...no safety eyes (the safety is a lie). Now the duck was a joy to make. Now to make a white gosling (same pattern) #Crochet #Amigurami

I've crocheted since I was 17. Discovered Amigurami about 2 years ago. It's fun with the right pattern The turtles take just under an hour.

Glad to hear this Patricia. And what a great way to remember for next time (please let it be a long time from now). I do little crochet critters and if you want one to hold on to and know you are cared about let me know. I'm making a herd of mini hippos soon and would love to add one more. 😃

Oh so cute. I just came back from the Coast with about $200 in yarn. My SIL is expecting so I have a few to make for her. I had to buy lavender yarn for Maribel's Hippo. I got him half done...brought him home to put on the eyes and finish him. Love this pattern. In awe of sellers

My dear husband has started talking at the most inopportune times more than once. My Amigurami Hippos require concentration and math. I give thanks to all my math teachers that drilled the times tables into my head. #Crochet #Amigurami

Turtles on a Log are becoming my favourite creatures. It has to be sunny and at least 15° no higher than 25°....just like me. Smart critters.
