    March 27, 2023
    March 26, 2023. I was up bright and early this morning - early enough to catch the sunrise - and this is what it looked like as reflected on my computer screen from the east-facing window behind me. I spent more time on my tech barriers project today, ...

    So Tired of Snow

    | 2023365, Syndicated
    March 27, 2023
    March 25, 2023. I actually made a couple of TikToks on the subject. This is my front yard, still covered with snow, on March 25. No wonder we don't have flowers! I also show some video of a woodpecker in a snowstorm. On March 25! I spent a full day wor...

    March 26, 2023
    March 23, 2023. It was above zero and rainy today, which produced a fog as the snow sublimated. In the distance I could hear a train coming. But because of the dim light and the motion and all, I wasn't able to get a good shot as it went by, so you hav...

    Northern Lights

    | 2023365, Syndicated
    March 26, 2023
    March 24, 2023. I went out several times to look for the northern lights, and maybe I saw them, very faintly, or maybe it was clouds. This was one last look out the window on a Friday night looking for them, and not seeing anything. A full day on the t...

    March 22, 2023
    March 22, 2023. I tried on the bug jacket I picked up on Sunday to make sure it would fit. As you can see, it does. The bug jacket may be essential when I'm cycling in La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve this summer (I'm hoping that by waiting until August I...

    March 21, 2023. A mourning dove soaks in the late afternoon sun in our back yard. The birds are all returning, and are not pleased to find the ground still covered with snow. Thank goodness for our feeder! Today was a day of three meetings and I even g...

    March 21, 2023
    March 20, 2023. I took my bike out for a longer ride for the first time today (where 'longer' means 8km - still building up slowly). Pretty happy with the ride, though I'll need a new saddle. It takes more effort to pedal than my previous gravel bike, ...

    March 19, 2023
    March 18, 2023. This is my luggage, finally returned after almost three weeks. It could have been worse, I suppose. The tags tell a story of a much-travelled piece of luggage (it certainly went places I didn't, like Heathrow). This was otherwise a prod...

    March 18, 2023
    March 17, 2023. This is one of our regular woodpeckers hiding out in the crabapple tree in the back yard. Today was a day of meetings and productivity. The itch is trying to make a comeback but I'm fighting it off with medication. Oh, I can't wait for ...

    March 18, 2023
    March 16, 2023. This is Emma chasing a bug (probably one of the many Asian lady beetles that spend the winter in the house). I had a much more productive day today and got a bunch of things off the 'to-do' list. Still a lot stacked up. But it's nice to...

    March 15, 2023. It was a lot nicer and warmer today and the birds were happy hanging out by the feeder. I am happier too. Not only am I feeling stronger and healthier, I got a phone call from Iberia saying they were sending me my luggage; it should arr...

    March 14, 2023. There was a long of something from the sky - now? sleet? slush? - along with a lot of wind and the birds were not happy. But they were still willing to flock to the feeder. I began today to actually feel like I'm recovering from everyth...

    March 13, 2023. Julia thinks she's fooling me, but I can see that she's watching my reflection in the basement window, just in case I make any sudden moves (like, say, to pet her). Still sick. Still no luggage. https://flic.kr/p/2onwsfn

    March 16, 2023
    March 11, 2023. This is Charlemagne in the 'petting zone', which as you can see is the space at the cat is basically level with the human, making it easy to reach between the rails and offer a nice safe petting. The cardboard was there to prevent them ...

    March 10, 2023
    March 9, 2023. This is the Nordstrom at Rideau Centre in Ottawa. I had never been to a Nordstrom, and with news that the chain is now closing in Canada, I thought I'd peer in before they disappear. So today I had a doctor's appointment in the morning (...
