Heading into Fredericton to pick up some groceries and snacks for the fam jam bbq tonight. Also hitting up the farm markets on the north side of the river for hodgepodge veggies 🤞🏼 Gonna say hi to this guy lol #NewBrunswick

A giant potato by the side of the road with black stick arms and legs and a fairly creepy face, also wearing a little black top hat that tilts to the right. He’s quite a character he has to be seen to be believed. I don’t know if he has a name, but he stands out big and proud at Silver Valley Farms

Behold, my new favourite mug!! #loon

A handmade pottery mug with a blue wash glaze. Within a white unglazed circle there is a hand painted common loon. Birthday gift from kid1. Love it! My whole family knows they can never go wrong if it’s got a loon on it lol

A horrifying incident on the 102 near Stewiacke yesterday. #nsnews I’m going to Fredericton this week and no lie, I’m a little scared about being on the highways for that long.

NS firefighter post on Facebook about a motor vehicle collision involving a pedestrian on highway 102. Life flight was on the way there’s a Google map where you can see the highway is red and closed close to Fort Ellis.

A post from Reddit “we just missed it coming home. A man was running north down the middle of the 102 south swerving between the lanes and oncoming traffic. Can’t make assumptions, but he was flailing his arms in the air and he was holding a book or phone in one hand. He was literally running head onto oncoming traffic, like he was trying to get hit. Also, guessing he had just run out onto the 102 because we had to slam on our brakes (along with all the cars around us) and swerve into the shoulder to avoid hitting the vehicles in front of us, and so those behind didn’t rear end, and were luckily able to avoid collision. This was just after the Stewiacke river.

It’s bird o’clock!

The birds are busy here tonight!

Merlin‘s been telling me he’s around and I finally spotted him, my first purple finch!

Photo of a purple finch sitting in a tree. They’re more red than purple. A bit disappointing for this Purple fan.

Sorry for the dimness, I’ve moved to the basement for the afternoon lol.

Same, but front deck. The birds have been busy before it gets too hot. Dragonflies are zipping about. Penny is taking #Caturday very seriously, can’t be bothered to move even when the chickadees are on the deck railing lol. It’s been a beautiful morning. Enjoy!

We see part of an e reader in the left corner foreground. The right upper background we see a shaded wooden deck that has a tortoiseshell cat started out and watching the sunny yard beyond.

Cat drama!!! I guess #Caturday was a dud for her since she slept all day so she’s making up for it today.

Terra 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇵🇸@macterra17· Jun 28

This little one showed up later than usual this morning, but that’s ok, I slept in too 🐰

A brown rabbit sitting on a patch of gravel with a utility trailer and a white Rona bucket in the background. He’s scratching his poor little scarred up face, and you can see his white belly. being NS I have to assume he’s scratching so much because of ticks

I blocked an account today that I’ve followed a long time. I didn’t want to and was disappointed that I had to. They posted an ai slop image with a Grok logo on it. Maybe it was wasn’t the first time and I’ve never noticed but I was surprised. That account put me on a list and I’m mad about it. 1/2

Screenshot of a Bluesky notification.
It’s notifying me that I’ve been added to the “People who block from list or magats” custom feed list

This one?

Snelgrove the Snail from 80’s kids show. It’s a puppet, his face and body are yellow. Orange freckles on his face. He has orange hair and a green shell.

Speaking of pollinator moths, this guy was here last weekend. Hummingbird moths have to be one of the coolest moths ever!

Close-up shot of what I think is a Snowberry clearwing hummingbird moth. He’s hovering beside a lilac blossom, and you can clearly see one of his wings. 🦋

A cluster of lilacs from a bit of a distance. You can clearly see a hummingbird moth feeding on the blooms.

Tacky solar lights ✅ I am ready for Summer!

Volunteer lilies of some kind in the brush line, definitely weren’t there last year. Neat! Free flowers are great flowers🌼

Looking into the woods with low underbrush of mostly ferns and knee high other greenery, in the foreground there’s a small clump of lilies with yellow blooms

Close up of a yellow lily showing off its pistils and stamens. It’s a volunteer that showed up out of nowhere this year and I have no idea what kind it is.

Date night was a thorough walk around the yard to see what’s grown this week. Post walk tick check, all clear 👍🏼

Wild iris being beautifully purple in a very wet ditch. Lots of leaves with one iris blooming.

Close up looking directly down on a wild iris.

A Junco sitting in a maple tree looking right at us. I think he has attitude lol.

My mum took these in Hants North this morning. Amazing!

Picture of a sunrise you can see the horizon in a couple of telephone poles. The sky is pink and blue with a bit of orange is yellow at the horizon.

Another sunrise picture you can see the road and the horizon in the distance more pink and blue clouds just beautiful

One of these things is not like the others…

There’s a cat sitting on a corner of a patio stone walkway, she’s a bit cornered by three white hens and a multicoloured rooster. 🐓

2 Morning bunnies! Penny ended up chasing one and was shocked to have failed lol. One has its ears being ravaged by ticks, the other looks younger and healthier.

Penny spotted the rabbits first. Cat sitting on the deck, looking through the railing inside a bunny in the grass the bunny is out of focus.

Healthy looking little brown bunny, just being cute sitting in the grass

Older looking bunny, his ears are just full of ticks. The rabbit is sitting at the base of our front steps with his back to us.

This older bunny looks a bit ragged and if you zoom in you can see all the ticks on his ears, from the front it looks even worse, but I couldn’t get a pic

Terra 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇵🇸@macterra17· Jun 5

Amazing! He kept coming closer through the lilacs while I talked to him, as one does, and he finally hopped up right beside me!! I 💜 all the birbs.

I don’t know if it’s the Wake n Bake or the Bailey’s in my coffee, but I feel friggin great this morning! Happy Saturday pocket friends! Oh, and Happy #Caturday from Princess Penelope, too!

The background is a black white and gray fuzzy blanket. We’re looking at a tortoiseshell cat sitting on that blanket while bathing herself, with her head turned over her shoulder so the camera can’t see her face while I say her name three times in a row. She’s just like that lol. Caturday

This one is beautiful every year with blossoms but never produces pears.

I shit you not. Waaaaaaah! This biological process is such a bitch. I’m glad that women openly talk about it now. It used to be such a hush hush foolishness about it. Look at this mess lol

Screenshot of Apple health app’s menstrual tracking feature. It shows a length of being period free for 220 days from February to September in 2025 and another stretch of 141 days
that started in January of this year and that just ended today. The countdown to menopause begins again.

Horrible pic but more of these please and less talk of fracking and going backwards to heat government buildings with wood. Utter garbage announcements coming from Tim Houston’s government the past couple of days. Saw a dairy farm with a great big bunch of solar panels. Kudos to them!

Guess where I am.

Indoor slippers and outdoor slippers. Everyone does this, right?
