Downloaded electric jazz playing, and a round (or few) of crib with the Hubbard sipping #mexican beer at the cabin. This may or not post depending on the cellular gods. #canadasky

After a super sketchy off highway portion of our drive to the cabin we made it and broke trail down to the cabin for a β€œ #politicaldetox β€œ type of wknd. Very limited, incredibly spotty cell service is just what my mental health ordered!

β€œThis wasn’t a win for the players. It was a win for 40 million Canadians. That’s what made it different,” says winning coach Jon Cooper, touching on the politics that surrounded the game. β€œAnd everyone in the room understood that.” #Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

That one mattered. That one mattered so much. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ #canada

Fuck YESSSSS!!!! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ You did it boys!!! Fuck you trump!

Come on boys. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Keep the momentum and let’s finish this quickly!!! Tied at 2 end of regulation. #4nations #never51 #ftrump #canadaproud #canadsky

WTAF?? 😳😳I refuse to hit the β€œshare” to boost the message of his coup and self coronation. The OFFICIAL White House page. 😳😳😳 When is enough enough?? I feel like Canadians are doing more than the average American. #neverthe51ststate #americanpoli

This truly is the destruction of the US, and the beginning of a dictatorship. I am Canadian πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ and truly sorry for what the US has become 😒

Fun little workshop at #quiltguild today!! I can see making lots of these rope bowls and think they will be excellent out at the cabin using scraps of the line I am using out there. Perfect for clips too! Thanks to Heather for teaching!! #quiltsky

This is certainly not the 1-3 cm of snow forecasted!! Part of me is sad to cancel team meetings today, but the other part is thrilled as it will help our drought code which has persisted all winter. About 6 inches (18 cm) so far and dumping hard!…. #snow #letitsnow #northernbc #canada

The blocks of the dark version of my batik chandelier quilt is up on the design wall to sort out placement. My 6 year old grandson said it looks like jewels πŸ’Ž see down my wall for the light version.

Emotional regulation after a morning of β€œconversation” with an πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ who thinks another country ( πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ πŸ‡©πŸ‡°) should come in and take out her president because any sort of civil uprising might have a negative consequence for her. Like ok? World war isn’t negative?? 😳 Clean your own πŸ’© up USA.

A decent overview of some of Carney’s thoughts on the hot buttons to cons are attempting to push.

Welcome to the world babies!! Grow show season begins here in the North. Lettuce (to grow fully inside and support πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦, not πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ produce), Arabis for the cabin rock gardens and geraniums all declared their will to live today! 🌱 #moretocome #growshow #seedstarting

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ This πŸ‘‡ is a must read for all Canadians. He πŸ”¨ it. #canadainvasion #canada #charlieangus

I needed a good protest song this morning/ laugh. Heads up don't listen to it while drinking coffee. #Canada #NeverVoteConservative #WomenAgainstPierrePoilievre youtu.be/rO_zwiBlrBQ?...

What an excellent resource! Every person, on both sides of the border frankly, should watch this! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦, we need to not get into the situation the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ USA is in. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ, you need to stand up. youtu.be/dE2e8tQfOn0?...

A question for the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ. I am trying to figure some things out. It appears that your country is just letting the 🍊 🦍 do whatever he wants. This is not a β€œblame game”, I am struggling more and more with what seems to be the reactions (lack of). Are you folks cool with what is going on down there?

Now to lighten my mood from political outrage so I can go be artsy, eat queso & jive to tunes while quilting, here is an image for #caturday. My daughter found this wee girl, a few weeks old, alone and suffering frostbite. She ended up being adopted by my dad and is now thriving & named Whiskey.

I have so many American friends. They mostly lean bright blue. I thought I could separate them from my disdain for Trumpism. Increasingly I am wondering where the hell is the resistance? More and more I see complicity. Where are the mass protests? No uprising. #losingrespect

Be proud #Canada. Together it is our time to rise and shine. Time to project a little more loudly all our quiet pride and spirit. #WeareCanadian

I am considering a rewatch of Handmaids Tale to replace the daily news. I figure it is less disturbing and far more tame than than the reality of the shit show in the USA so… πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ call it mental health support?

Today’s petty pleasure. Changing my Siri voice away from the American setting. I be hearing the luck o’ the Irish now! ☘️ #neveramerican

Day 3 of quilt retreat is getting under way. Yesterday I finished this chandelier top. πŸ’• I have a second cut with a dark bg. Will be interesting to see the different effects.

For the #BlueSkyArtShow - this weeks theme is #reflections This one s a different kind of reflection. The Northern Lights were reflecting on the frozen lake ice. Watch for the colour changes!!
