September really confused the garden.
Cold snaps early in the month pushed the burning bush into red way ahead of schedule, and now the late heatwave has the hibiscus blooming like it’s summer all over again.
At least the skies are showing off. 💙

On my morning walk, the sun looked unusually orange due to the forest fires out west in Manitoba. The smoky skies made everything look a bit surreal.

Back at home, I had a visitor in the yard while I was making breakfast. A skunk, just going about its day! I kept my distance. 🤣
A suburban neighbourhood street with houses and trees. The sun, muted by a smoky, hazy sky, creates a soft orange glow. Cars are parked along the quiet street, and tall trees frame the image. The sky is tinged pink and grey, likely due to forest fire smoke. A close-up series of images of a black and white skunk with a raised bushy tail foraging in a green lawn. The skunk is sniffing the ground, exploring the grass, and moving in various positions. The surrounding area includes some patches of mulch and a small bush. The skunk appears calm and unbothered by the camera.

A lush forest scene filled with vibrant green foliage and a dense carpet of blooming blue wildflowers, likely forget-me-nots, covering the forest floor. Several tall trees stand throughout the image, with one tree prominently displaying large shelf fungi growing on its trunk. Sunlight filters gently through the canopy, adding a peaceful glow to the woodland setting. A forest scene with a close-up of a tree trunk featuring two large shelf fungi growing on its bark. At the base of the tree, a cluster of delicate blue wildflowers, likely forget-me-nots, spreads across the forest floor. The surrounding area is lush with green foliage and tall trees in the background, creating a peaceful, woodland atmosphere. A sunbeam pierces through a dense, green forest at sunset, casting a golden glow across the lush undergrowth and fallen branches. Tall trees with fresh spring leaves frame the scene, and a patch of small blue wildflowers blooms in the bottom right corner. The atmosphere is serene and vibrant with natural life.

A cartoon shows a man slouched in a chair with a remote control and a beer can, wearing slippers and a shirt with a red maple leaf. His TV displays a warning: "The following contains frightening scenes, devastation, and images that may be disturbing... Viewer discretion is strongly advised!" From the doorway, a woman asks, "Slasher film?" and the man replies, "Political attack ad." A concerned dog peeks around the corner. The cartoon is signed “Nease, ’25.”

Canadians still think they are getting news from Facebook and Instagram. A survey of 1,100 ppl conducted by Media Ecosystem Observatory showed that 57% of Canadians use Facebook as a source of political news, despite news being blocked on the platform.

Winter is like a squatter this year. There's no getting rid of it. We should be seeing daffodils and hyacinths.

I was just looking at an Angus Reid poll. Surprised that the Conservatives are losing ground with males, but gaining female supporters. 🤷

A screenshot of the 338Canada Federal Projection updated April 10, 2025. Across the top are two Canadian flags and the title “338Canada Federal Projection.” On the left, horizontal bar charts show estimated popular vote percentages for each party: Liberals at 44% ± 5, Conservatives at 37% ± 4, NDP at 8% ± 2, and Bloc Québécois at 6% ± 1. On the right, corresponding seat projections appear with a vertical line marking the 172-seat majority threshold. The Liberals are projected at 196 seats (range 165–229), Conservatives at 121 (92–150), Bloc at 17 (7–26), NDP at 8 (1–14), and Greens at 1 (0–2). A note at the bottom clarifies that these figures are an aggregate model estimate rather than a standalone poll.

Two young men standing close together in a crowded indoor setting. One wears a black hoodie with a large white, stylized graphic on the front and light-colored pants. The other is dressed mostly in black and holds what appears to be a drink in his hand. Both have short, light-brown hair and are turned toward each other, partially facing the camera. The background is filled with other people in conversation.

Mother Nature hit "shuffle" on the weather playlist and walked away. 🤣

A screenshot of a weather radar app covering southwestern Ontario. Various colored regions show precipitation types (blue for snow, pink for ice, green for rain). City labels include Toronto, Hamilton, Barrie, Buffalo, London, and Erie, and a time slider near the bottom is set to Wednesday at 2:00 PM. A “Hurricane Tracker” option is visible, along with a legend indicating “Rain,” “Ice,” and “Snow.”

A quiet residential street blanketed in a thin layer of snow. Footprints curve along the road, and bare trees line both sides. A few houses and a parked vehicle appear in the background under a cloudy winter sky.

A political cartoon showing three caricatured male figures. One, shirtless in camouflage pants, has blood on his hands. Another crouches on all fours, wearing a blue suit, a long red tie, and a red baseball cap reading “MAKE RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN.” A third stands behind them, dressed in black with a large blue-and-yellow patch on his shirt. Blood spatters the ground near the shirtless figure. The artist’s signature, “Nease, ’25,” appears at the top.
