@npub150l…r96e Ooh, I love to see fireflies!! Apparently, they exist where I live but I’ve never seen them in my province.

Sadness! I guess you have a new pencil holder to add to the collection. Unless the mug actually broke in half.

First draft of the #StasiaDress with a thrifted knit with very little stretch. It’s a fun dress to wear and #ItHasPockets. #sewing #MeMadeMay

Apparently, I now have FOUR sets of nail clippers, possibly because I went on long trips without any. They all live in the bathroom, hooked over the container I use for odd items that are small.

I've shopped in Bulk Barn with someone who deliberately memorizes the codes for whatever she's buying. Impressive!

I'm going into my golden year wearing the brightest colours I can find.

For me, #CanoeTrips are like #backpacking but with luggage! I haven't had a good enough back to carry my home, food, and clothing to an isolated location but I can paddle into the backcountry and bring heavier gear and more of it. Days on the water have a special kind of peace. I wasn't sure if a trip would be in the cards for me this summer. Really happy that this is falling into place.

I really took the weekend off of everything productive because I had a lot of #pain at the end of the week. I started this week with a lot of energy and have accomplished many small tasks. Rode my #bike to meet a friend for a walk this morning and then, we ate these gorgeous #CinnamonBuns that are the size and shape of a brain. Long-awaited details of a #CanoeTrip became available and I've done a quick switch of #paddling partners. I've been prepping lots. Excited about the escape.

@npub1c5c…644a I once organized a camping trip that included an arborist. She toured the grounds before we chose where to pitch our tents. It was an eye-opener.
