We love taking the kids to the campground! It's been a while for us though with my work travel

When I went out to pick the kids fresh raspberries for their lunches the loveliest little bee was just coated in pollen having a little rest still on the sunflower. It brought me joy

I know it's October, I'm sure the bee knows it's October, but it's also 30⁰ and there's still pollen to collect!

Mini goats?

Maggie May @maggiemay243bskyso.bsky.social · 5d

Get the goats! Be happy! Better add in some chickens, just to be sure.

Spent the day helping to build the future of the Defense Space Enterprise!

How lucky am I to work at a place as beautiful as this? There's a pond at the heart of Carling Campus, and the Afghanistan War Memorial is on the other side of the pond.

A gray building with a white roof rests at the edge of a reflecting pool, surrounded by trees whose leaves have started turning their fall colours.

It's officially fall at NDHQ! CANGOSCOM is preparing to move to their winter operating locations and nature is painting the leaves some pretty brilliant colours! This scene brought me a lot of joy on my walk to work this morning!

Anytime someone leaves the linen closet door open, Mara somehow just *knows* and immediately goes to take a nap.

Discovered on Friday afternoon that I'd been out of dress *all day*.

I got promoted! I'm being presented with a wooden plaque holding my new rank of lieutenant Colonel by the Commander of 3 Canadian Space Division while the Chief Warrant Officer of the division looks on

Some of it is free! I was just being lazy and didn't want to drive it to a donation center...

Cleaning out the garage this weekend reminds me how much I dislike FB Marketplace...

It's a beautiful day for the #ArmyRun2025!!! While an injury kept me from running this year, it was powerful to see the runners step off the start line on this chilly Sunday morning!
