Shelter Pets
I happened to notice, today is Adopt a Shelter Pet Day. It's a day I can certainly get behind. Since I happen to have one. The picture here is Sophie. She's a little whiter around the muzzle these days. Maybe not as spry as she once was...

To Mow Or Not To Mow
May is almost upon us. It will be here Wednesday. Which means No Mow May will be getting underway, and already I'm looking shaggy around the edges. And in parts of the middle, too. More importantly, so is my lawn. I have tried No Mow Ma...

Keeping It Fresh
It was interesting over the last few days seeing posts about the demise of Ben's bread. The once iconic Nova Scotia brand is being done away with. Then again, that it seemed to be harder to find over the past few years anyway. It isn't un...

Double Double With a Song and Dance On The Side

I've been searching for a picture, but I forgot to take one this past weekend. I couldn't find one from past years. And a search of available images I could use turned up nothing. But there were plenty of mayflowers around over the weeke...

Looking For A New Face
A friend called me yesterday with a question. It wasn't a tough question, but I didn't have an answer. Have you seen any coins with King Charles on them? Last fall, there was a lot made of the transition to King Charles coins. The officia...

They Seem To Be Hanging In
Today is International Bat Appreciation Day. I'll admit. I'm a bat fan. And not because of Batman. Or Dracula. I just like bats. I just happen top think they are interesting. And I am also in favour of anything that wants to eat all ...
