Keep your eyes on the skies this weekend.
Northern lights possible. Best viewing is facing north of the city, eg facing the Quebec side along the Ottawa River. From either east or west of the city. Away from light pollution.

And then there were two. We’ve adopted a second dog from Freedom Dog Rescue.
Dori is a boxer rescued from a puppy mill. Sweet girl in 8-10 month old and was already bred. You’re safe now ❤️

After much anticipation for Wally Lamb's new book, I read 4%, reached that terrible moment that happens... and NOPE.
I stopped and the book went back to the library @opl-bpo.bsky.social.
