It was super windy in Twillingate yesterday, “a slight breeze,” the locals say. Winds up to 65kms an hour. The waves crashing onto the rocks is amazing! #CrowsHead #Newfoundland

Happy 54th Birthday to me! Waking up to this view is unbelievable! Twillingate Newfoundland #travel #Newfoundland #birthdaywish

The doctor at the fracture clinic said that it’s common for birdwatchers to break their ankles, like me. This was all for a look at the #bobolink #birdwatcher #birdwatching #aircast #nicecleanbreak

This cleaning lady is now on holidays, a little impromptu and little too early in the year for me. Staycation it is! #fracture #ankle #localhospital #homebound #rolledankle

And then…it was like 20 robins on my lawn! In February!

On February 3 2024 I spotted 3 robins hanging around my garage, looking for worms. Robins! In February! #birdwatching #nosnow #sunnyday

My arms were full, with a shovel & a box of carrots, but the elusive owl made an appearance. I saw how huge it was, with its large yellow eyes & it’s the colour of tree bark. Maybe a #greathornedowl #ontarioowl #wildlife #dusk #goodthingsgrowinOntario #owlspotting

Since my dog has become a diabetic, I’ve had to switch dog foods, & I’ve started cooking for her. My son, “Is this dog food, or taco meat? And what smells so good?” And I always reply, “It’s dog food.”

The husband and son are at the ##NationalBankOpen in #Toronto The 14 year old son, who plays tennis is absolutely thrilled to see @felixtennis and I’m sad I missed it.

If you missed my mom’s funeral service and would like to view it, you can find on YouTube. Just search Drayton CRC and it will pop up on their channel.

We laid my mom to rest yesterday. It’s nice to know that she was a bright light to so many people. It was amazing to see the community come out & let us know what a great person she was. I’m so proud of her & I’ll miss her. #imsad #shewasmymom #proudoma #weshouldbemorelikeher

7weeks ago, my parents were in a car accident which was not my dad’s fault. My mom sustained numerous injuries, & she put up a valiant effort to heal but it was too much for her & she passed away peacefully last night with all of us around her. She was my mom for 53 years. 😔

It’s either the cone of shame or the pillow of comfort! No scratching or rubbing the eye ulcer! Hopefully this senior girl is on the mend, only the blood work will tell. #colliemix #seniordog #suchagoodgirl #mybestfriend

Sometimes, I clean at a doggie day care facility. A dog was visiting for the day & her name is, “Winner.” She is a service dog that failed the criteria & because she has #FOMO I just think this is so hilarious, her name & why she failed. #cleaningladystories

A fallen tree branch has turned into a major branch removal as that limb sways in the wind with a huge crack. The husband will do his best to save most of the tree & remove the dangerous bits. #keeperofthetrees #FathersDayWeekend #treepruning #SaturdayinOntario

It’s that time of year when the people in my house ask if swimming in the pool counts as showering. #livingwithteens #summerinOntario #Maydays #swimmingpool

We had a visitor to our lawn! We kept our distance while it called for its mom. So cute. So little. It went back into the wheat field to wait for its mom to come home. #babydeer #countryliving #wheatfield #goodthingsgrowinOntario

My son came home from his Scout Jamboree near London. He had the best time. “Mom. I shook hands with an American! He was from Ohio! They talk different!” My kid had the best time. #Scout #camping #Scouting #earningbadges

Love is…buying your mom a plate she can’t put in the dishwasher, or microwave. And she won’t eat off it because hand wash only, who has time for that. #HappyMotherDay2023 to all the moms that receive impractical gifts & pretend to like them.

A very quick visit from a #BaltimoreOriole Usually they spend a few days with us before they move on. Such a beautiful bird! #Birdwatching
