Good Morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee.
Sorry about the ring around DL. Sounds very frustrating…
The temps are beautiful here, but I’m flying to the east coast on Tuesday and it’s going to be an awful heatwave there too for this early in the year. Don’t have access to AC there, so things...
Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL!
It's a bit drizzly this morning, but not enough that I won't have to water the garden again this evening - we should get more tomorrow! I had the best sleep I've had in a week or so last night, hoping for more over the weekend. Busy organizing the...

It's a grey morning here, but good for the garden. Less than a week until I fly back to Nova Scotia! Unfortunately that means less than a week until I have to have my thesis in order. Haha.
DL, I hope that this referral will be helpful for you!
Likely the same population! In some parts of the oceans, cetacean distribution can shift a lot over time as these populations follow the best food sources. For example, Southern California use to have a local population of pilot whales, but they disappeared after a strong El Niño and market...
Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL! I need it today.
Planted the potatoes, tomatoes, onions, leeks, and celery yesterday. I'm a bit behind, but it's just that kind of year. Peppers will go in today :)
Yes!!!! There were tuna-eating killer whales off New England back in the day, but they haven't been seen much over the last few decades. Super cool!

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL.
That's scary! HGE is no fun, but at least you have a diagnosis. I am always worried about blue-green algae poisoning this time of year, so I am grateful for you that it wasn't that! Hope Piper gets better quickly!
It's a more cloudy day here. I'm...

Another warm and sunny day here. Yesterday it got to 27C (81F), which is fairly warm for this time of year. I'm in the middle of hand-stripping Salt (who is not so little anymore). Buoy is next on the agenda. Just in time for the good weather!
Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL!
Another nice day here and things are finally drying out. My dahlias suffered a bit from the wet and cold weather - definitely more losses than normal, but it was a year in which I couldn't baby them along. Good for sorting out which will thrive in...
Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL!
I also had a bad bought of insomnia last night... not very pleasant, but happens from time to time for me when I have too much on my mind.
There are still good physicians out there! I have a wonderful one, but I think they are perhaps a bit easier...
Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL!
Beautiful sunny morning here after a very rainy day yesterday. I think there's more dark clouds on the way though!
I'm slowly slipping back into a normal routine and thankful to be back in the yard once again!
Good afternoon Cafe! Thanks for the coffee.
I'm finally back from two weeks in Hawaii (and then a quick trip within the province). Did not have time for much other thank teaching, but I think I need a rest now 😝 Here are some photos of the cetaceans I saw there - including a first for me...
