Guess we are hosting dinner tonight…. 🦌
Nice little two point. We have had a doe and a couple young ones sleeping in the side yard the past few weeks but this little buck is newish to the crew. #northernliving #canadasky

If this is even half true I will be elated. Sadly, I think the line up for any penny these unscrupulous “farmers” has or generates in go fund me is LONG. They get to pay for every penny their horrible practices, non compliance and subsequent grift cost the taxpayers! #canpoli #grift

A few cloudy northern lights shots from the evening in town. Oh for it to be clear and me at the cabin with a huge solar storm. One day those three things will coincide and I will check off a bucket list item. ✅

Doing the little house on the prairie/holly hobby ish this afternoon. Had a big fruit tray that I was not going to get through so after a bit of research combined with my 40 years of canning knowledge, I present “fruit tray jam”. *not a tested recipe/will not be sharing as a result ;)

Good timing! A full day of chores so far but I got the wood shed organized for winter and chopped & stacked wood for the next day or two just in time for a snow storm! Now inside, warming water for bathing/hairwash (water off for winter) and going to bake something this afternoon.

Another beautiful evening at the cabin. Lady Aurora on display. Watch the left of the frame for my flying squirrel 🐿️ on the bird feeder and his subsequent exit. #aurora #northernlights #lakelife #cabinlife #myhappyplace #northernbc #lovemylife

New tool/toy for the cabin. I’ve been watching patiently/not patiently for a decent quad to come on the market that was not 20 plus years old, beat up, or the price I paid for my last vehicle. Today that patience finally paid off!! Also happens to be my favourite colour so we will say it was fated

A brief rain has yielded to a perfectly orange Halloween sky for the trick or treaters. Happy Halloween 🎃

My Fall Forrest Fairy is off to work at the clinic today. Mom (me) got pressed into action to help with some minor sewing of costuming. Much easier than the days I used to costume her entire plays!

Finally trimmed and sewed on the binding to this #chandelier #quilt yesterday. After sitting for nearly 9 hours watching #bluejays #baseball Monday night , I thought I could have completed the 🪡 of the binding in that time. 🤪 Now I have a project for game 6. #worldseries #canadasky #quiltsky

#Sundayfunday creating #Bluesky #bliss. Good background tunes, hot soak, hot coffee and figuring out how to order your feeds! Taking time to learn the little tweaks, remove minor frustrations, decreasing the noise and prioritizing what is important. 🇨🇦 #canadafirstalways

Great retreat! Got two #quilt tops completed!! Both are #brownbagmystery from 2022. Double blind, fabric and pattern. Teal was pulled from stash once yardage only known. Camera is not picking up the colours well but the teal is deep, saturated and stunning in person! A good example of color theory.

Day 1 of quilt retreat in the books. I quit early since I am first in to make coffee tomorrow.
I am doing UFOs this time. One top completed (borders needed) from 2022 and a second well on its way that I had to make 16 more blocks for, now piecing the rows together (same pattern as the other).

#ColorADay #PinkMon The final day of showy colours in the garden at the cabin. Golden hour as the sun set and these hardy mums were doing their very stunning job Friday night. This morning it dipped below -10 and many of the plants are now D.O.N.E. :(

Three years ago this wknd our offer was accepted. Transition photos from initial viewing to today. So very grateful this Thanksgiving to have this land to care for and place to build memories for all the generations of our family.

The drive along the back side of the lake Friday was simply stunning! 💚🧡💛 Nautly bridge, Simon Bay, looking to Fraser Lake (town) and our road to property. While a huge amount of the leaves have dropped, there was plenty remaining to give a beautiful show. #fallcolors #lakelife #canada #Thanksgiving

My girl Felicity 🦊 was the first thing I saw when I woke Sat am… she was sitting on the deck looking in my bedroom window. When she finally took her leave, I thought to grab a photo with her winter coat coming in. Then she 🛑 and I switched to video and caught this. #fox #lakelife #cabinlife #nature

Last greenhouse picking of the year. With -10 forecasted it is time. The peppers were continuing to thrive still putting out flowers and SO many baby peppers. I could have picked through the toms to get many more but I went with these.

Today’s question to ponder… What is the tolerable number of child deaths and how many schools are you willing to lose in a mega thrust earthquake? The exam I took at 430 am was much easier than considering and defending this question! #hrva #emergencymanagment #lifelonglearner
