Drawing of a child pointing at mother’s upper arm.

Child: What’s that on your arm, Mama?
Mother: My smallpox vaccine scar.
Child: Why don’t I have one?
Mother: Because it worked.

Most of the trees in our area survived a drought last year…but not all of them😥

Two 20-foot spruce trees growing so close together that they would have looked like one tree except one has died and all its needles have turned red.

My man looks like a National Geographic Kids pirate map

Pictures of a tea-stained sheet of paper balled up in a pair of hands then spread out so the edges can be torn off. Text reads: Step 2, Once dry, your paper will look old and dirty - perfect for a pirate map! Now scrunch up the paper and tear all the edges. In the middle, you can even make holes, but be careful not to rip that much!

I’m not actively gardening this summer, but I can still find a pretty bouquet in the yard.

A colourful mix of flowers photographed from above: white, light pink and dark pink yarrow, garden evening primrose (yellow), butterfly milkweed (orange), daisies, and golden oregano leaves (bright green)

A great day for butterflying! Multiple White Admirals and Monarchs spotted and the European Skippers are still plentiful!

I finally got outside yesterday for a walk with my daughter and we saw two great blue herons, a turkey and a snap turtle. I wonder what we’ll see today?

I saw a cow. #HappyDay

I went adventuring in the cedars. Before mosquito season.

Post your favourite film from the year you turned 18 (if you feel like it)

Poster for PBS’ American Playhouse film Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.’s Who Am I This Time? (1982) featuring a large photo of Academy Award Winner Christopher Walken and Academy Award Winner Susan Sarandon as their characters in a play and an inset photo of them as their characters in the street. A white banner across the top of the poster reads “Academy Award winning director Jonathan Demme”

How about a groundhog that phones in the same prediction every Feb 2, shadow or no shadow: “Spring is NEVER coming!” #WiartonWillie #RIP #EarlySpring #SixMoreWeeks #SixtyMoreWeeks #Winter

A pretty typical grey March day, with a snow-covered field, snow-covered spruce trees, and footprints where some poor sucker trudged through the fresh snow using walking poles
