The sheer irony of this loser running for city council on a "Clean up the City" slogan, spamming the public spaces of the ward with his signs, and then never coming to pick up all of his litter after the election. #yegcc

This is her Sarracenia purpurea, which is quite charming. For gnats she has a bunch of Drosera spp. A flytrap is visible in the background with one of its leaves tightly clamped shut around another fly.

This is the neighbour’s ADU, for instance. It’s an apartment over their garage with a separate entrance. They also have a separate suite in their basement.

My other half has gotten into plants. Specifically, she has gotten into plants that eat things. So earlier I heard a weird buzzing sound and discovered it was coming from inside one of these flytrap leaves. Watch with sound.

Tricky things about being a dirt person:
1) Everywhere I go, I see a rock that is perfect for our garden.

Spent half the night in veterinary ER with my cat last night while she took the most overwhelmingly expensive poop of her entire almost 17 year life. But she’s home safe and sound.

The local brewery has started bringing in food trucks to compensate for its lack of kitchen, and has put its patio into summer mode. Now I’m really starting to feel the walkable neighborhood vibe.
