What kind of an unofficial kick off to summer long weekend is this? Wearing a toque & winter gloves, the wood stove going & frost warnings! The one saving grace, wall to wall sunshine and brilliant blue sky. And visits with mom, dad, and dad number two. #May24 #longweekend #cottagelife

I see this over and over again. Little rubber duckies on the dashboards of jeeps. It’s cute and all but who can help me understand why? #rubberducky #jeeps #smileinducing

It’s sandal season and I’m trying to decide what colour nail polish to use. Black? Purple? Burgundy? Note to self, if you’re going to drop a chunk of tree trunk on your foot, do it before October cause it takes a looonnnngggg time for that bruise to grow out! #NailPolish #ouch #sandalseason

This piece of linen was hand woven by my great grandmother on the family farm in #Lithuania. She sewed her initials “ZD” on it & the # 1, so we assume it’s part of a set. It’s lightly stained but in remarkably good condition. We figure it’s about 150 years old. 👇🏻 #familyheirloom #keepsake

Just me, a few seagulls and some kite surfers taking in the crisp breeze and brilliant sunshine. One step closer to opening up the cottage for the season. What are you up to this weekend? #cottagelife #weekendplans #kitesurfing

When this alert came blaring through the phone earlier today, it was immediately followed by a notification from Apple health detecting a change in my respiratory rate. 💓💓💓 Government of Ontario, you have my attention. #emergencyalert #earlywarning #heartbeat

Walks in the spring provide such beautiful surprises. Whether brilliantly coloured blooms or more subtle shades of brown, it so fills my spirit to “stop and smell the roses” so to speak. Spotted off the beaten path - eastern redbuds, a flowering plum tree, and some more muted fungi. #springblooms

I cannot take any credit for the blooms that are about to appear on my aloe plant. But I can share the secret to my success. Ignore them. They’ll do anything to get your attention! #greenthumb #sundaymorning #aloe

Some extra cuddles for my Mocke today. She was howling, throwing up, peeing on the floor & pooping in a basket. Not at all like her not to use her litter box. The good news is, it seems to be out of her system. She’s now all curled up for one of her many daily cat naps. #caturday #catsofbluesky

🧵 Now, I'm not #superstitious or anything, but during the playoff series between the Leafs and Sens, I did follow a routine. I wore the same track pants, the same blue & white jersey, set up my glittery Leafs mason jar & Stanley, my Leafs gnome ( gave him high fives when my buds scored). 👇

I love that the City of London planted a pear tree on my boulevard. At this time of year, it is awash in beautiful blooms & as I sit with my 1st cup of tea for the day, it brings so much joy. What’s something simple that you appreciated today? #grateful #peartree #springblooms

So glad I got out for a walk today. Spring is my favourite season. To see so many trees like this magnificent magnolia in bloom, not to mention all the tulips and daffodils. It definitely puts a little extra bounce in your step. What’s your favourite season? #spring #magnolia

When I was sick this month, I had no appetite & swallowing felt like a knife being dragged through my throat. But I knew I had to eat. A friend got me some soup. This is what it looked like straight out of the can. If that didn’t bring my appetite back nothing would! #LossofAppetite #cannedsoup

Neighbourhood watch is good & strong on my street! The other day my neighbour messaged me to share that she saw squirrels, birds, a groundhog & a chipmunk all at my bird feeder! My bird cam caught the eastern-grey squirrel munching away but thankfully not the groundhog! #birdcam #saturdayvibes

So grateful to be back at work & feeling productive again! Two weeks of being sick & doing nothing is a good reminder that as retirement slowly creeps closer I need to have a plan in place to not only keep me occupied, but feeling like I can make a difference! #retirementplanning #gratitude

Gotta support these young ladies. Such a great organization that teaches so many amazing life skills. The question remains though: vanilla or chocolate? This year, I’m leaning towards vanilla. 🍪🍪🍪 #cookie #girlguides #vanilla #chocolate

Got out for my 1st walk since this virus started invading my body 12 days ago! It was slow & short & I can already tell I overdid it. Nevertheless it was great to feel the sun and breathe in fresh air. Today I’m thankful for my Dr. What are you thankful for? #gratitude #dailywalk #slowandsteady

Big beautiful bouquet of my favourite flowers arrived to brighten my spirits today. Thank you mom and Bob for such a caring gesture that made me smile and cry at the same time. #tulips #bouquet #feelingloved

Needing some positive vibes please! I'm now a week into what is likely the worst cold of my life. I'm surprised I have any lungs left considering how much I've been coughing. You know things are bad when I don't finish a bowl of ice cream or when even my beloved Maple Leafs can't hold my attention.

The blooming has begun! 🌸🌻🌷🌼 Daffodils and Bossier’s glory of the snow. The little purple flower originates from western Turkey. That’s a long way for a seed to be carried on the breeze! The daffodils, I planted. The glory of the snow I did not. #flowersinbloom #springflower #fridayfeels

This Canada goose prefers the calm #floodwaters as opposed to the racing Thames River. I certainly get that. It’s important to slow down every once in a while & re-energize. One of my favourite ways is to get out in nature. What about you? #ldnont #thursdaythoughts

Proud me moment. I am crushing my walking goal this year. As of March 31, I've walked 655 kms (160 kms more than my 3 month goal)! That’s enough to get to Toronto to catch my Leafs in action, 3.5 times! Now, if I could only get a ticket. 🏒 #LeafsForever #motivation #progressnotperfection

So nice to find a homemade card from mom in the mail just reminding me she loves me. They're close to 48 hours without power in #Midland but are making the best of it. Today I'm thankful for hydro crews who are working hard to get power restored. What are you #thankful for? #ONStorm

Look at this beauty. Astra & her handler Brittany from @salthavenwildlife.bsky.social wowed the crowd at Wild Birds Unlimited this weekend. Astra is a great horned owl & is Salthaven’s newest wildlife ambassador. This was her 2nd appearance and she rocked it! #greathornedowl #wildlife

Can’t go to a butter tart festival and not buy butter tarts! It always spurs that age old debate. Raisins or no raisins? And what about all the different flavours nowadays from English toffee to Skor & smores?! Me, I go classic & love a tart with raisins! #buttertarts #ldnont #sweettooth

Learned this on a recent nature walk. Long before the English arrived, Indigenous peoples called the Thames River that runs through #ldnont the Antler River. Nice to see signs up reflecting this history. #antlerriver #thamesriver

Feeding time at the trough! A flock of European or common starlings has found my bird feeder. They are clearly not camera shy and they eat me out of house and home! Did any wildlife catch your eye today? #gratitude #birdcam #starling

It won’t be too much longer before my daffodils are blooming! So fragile looking but yet so strong, able to withstand the ups and downs of early spring weather. Today I'm #thankful for Canadians and how we're coming together at such an important time in our history. What are you thankful for? 🇨🇦

Well that was fun! It was blustery outside but so cozy & warm inside our little dome at Quai du Vin Estate Winery!  The perfect spot for a wine tasting with friends on a Sunday afternoon. A loud shout out to the friendly staff who looked after us so well! 🍷 #supportlocal #winetasting

A great way to start the day, out with a friend on a #nature walk. I learned that milkweed creates a sticky substance that caterpillars dine on & that birds get sick when they eat the insect and hopefully avoid them in future meals. Thx Wild Birds Unlimited #ldnont for hosting us. I love learning!

Mocke & I are so excited that spring is just around the corner. Days are getting longer. Flowers are starting to bloom. Who else has an extra bounce in their step? Mocke asked me to remind you about her Instagram account. You can find her @mocke_mews. #springtime #wednesdayvibes
