Watching The Prisoner for the first time in 30 years and just noticing how The Village design inspired The Good Place village.

Dolly Pawton, Rainbow Potato Princess.

She’s back!?! We believe this is the lone pronghorn that we have been tracking for 2 years. If so, she is STILL making her home in and around the Nose Creek Valley! #SaveNoseCreek #SNCpronghorn #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Balzac Pic: Joel Forre (iNaturalist) www.inaturalist.org/observations...

CalgaryCraftSales.com calendar has been updated! There are few spring craft sales these days, but now and then they pop up. #yycevents #yyc #handmadeyyc #calgary

Sailing into the weekend with some good news. Stay tuned :)

There's always one straggler! TBH, it's really, really hard to be creative and feel motivated right now with so much going on in the world :S

My social feed after that hockey game

Forgot how good Sixteen Stone was--every track a banger. Bush is coming to Edmonton, but it's the same time as the comic expo, aw! youtu.be/Opp9P6k9z-I?...

It's Nice To Be Disliked (By One Of Those)

🐧❤️ #WriterLife #FridayFunDay 😆👍

Wooo!! I was scared to look :D

I ordered the wrong marriage certificate for someone I thought was my relative of the same name. I know it was the style at the time in 1919, but dang, a 27 year old widowed man marrying a 16 year old girl has me going O.o Now I feel obligated to research her life!

New Pharaoh's tomb just dropped. The tomb of King Thutmose II has been uncovered, Egyptian officials announced on Tuesday, marking the first discovery of a royal resting place since King Tutankhamun’s was unearthed in 1922.

YYC scammer alert! Remember too, City of Calgary and Enmax employees will always show you their ID if you ask them.

Anxiolytic [ang-zee-uh-LIT-ik] (adj.) - Having an anxiety-reducing or eliminating effect. (n.) - Anything that reduces or eliminates anxiety. Used in a sentence: “The mysterious music had an immediate anxiolytic effect on her shattered nerves.”

This reminds me a bit of Lord Huron. It has that same restless vibe anyway!

It's taking a little practice to use my new lightbox tent. Indoor product photography is new to me and getting everything just right is tricky. For example, objects in the front are soft and ones in the back are sharp. I'll get there!

Boosting...contaminated cat food is a vector for bird flu transmission :/ www.gofundme.com/f/help-kiki-...

TIL!

Grey partridges visited the bird feeder and politely used the sidewalk :D I love our urban wildlife in YYC!

There are SO many people that do invisible and important work that keep us safe, keep the environment safe and keep us connected to the information we need. I'm one of them and trust me when I say we're the Excel spreadsheet that holds up a lot of systems!

Cozying up for the final episodes of Cobra Kai. This series is so ridiculously good!

Ugh! Imagine being sued for $6M...

Contemplqting a fibre art sample I made as an art student. I wish I knew about pin looms back then.

I wish there was a way to describe just how much fun Pathfinder was today--you had to be there :D

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, the National Park Service and historians pay tribute to the Black cowboys and cowgirls who made their mark on the wild west. buckrail.com/celebrating-... #tellemwhatwedid ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

This almost sounds like video game music :)

My current two budgies are not cuddlers. I feel kinda bad about it--it's so cold and you'd think that would bring them closer together. There is less squabbling these days, at least!
