There's a really good Lingonberry patch near us, I picked lots and made jam. It's kind of like cranberry, used more as a condiment than a jam. Anyhow, I got 4 bottles out of this batch, I gave away most of my first one.

It was a double digit temperature day and we saw a Mourning Cloak Butterfly, they overwinter in tree cracks and other hiding places. Cool to see this late in the season. #butterfly

I'm on a weird little place called Miscou Island. Half the island is a peat bog, in the fall it turns bright red. People come from all over to observe the colour change. #NewBrunswick

#ICYMI "We joke we're four perimenopausal women. We've all been in lots of different careers. We've all done lots and lots of different things... different bands, and there's a true collaborative effort to this band," said Megan Hamilton. More about the band: www.kingstonist.com/news/new-kin...

kingstonist.comNew Kingston punk band HAG release the first of three witchy, rage-fueled singles(Kingston, Ontario) Long-time Kingston musicians Moira Demorest, Megan Hamilton, Dee Prescott, and Ange Stever have come together to form witch punk band HAG. They recently released their first single...

Someone pulled out my "No Trespassing/No ATV" sign and tossed it, then stole my trail camera. I dropped a 20 foot spruce tree across the trail with my tractor. Looks like it might be time for some fencing materials.

At his mechanic now, we'll see how it goes. I don't have everything working on her, but she's mechanically sound. Even though I think she's a great machine...I guess we're just not RV people...

Gotta make some decisions about powering the cottage we're going to build, go off-grid with solar...or connect to the utility? It all has to do with distance to utility being at least 300m away. Cost to connect is about $9k. 1/2 #offgrid #solarpower

Then we'd still need about $4k in more wiring and trenching to get where we need it. Or, we can spend about $8k or so on solar panels and batteries. Then we also have to change appliances to propane and maybe use a generator at times. Everything has a cost, monetary or convenience #solarpower

So I spent a few days pulling out Japanese Lantern plants...don't ever let these things get out of control, they spread and kill everything else. I had to eradicate them from my raspberry patch, hundreds, if not thousands of them.

I've cleared about 400 feet of forest to make a driveway and an area at the end to build a small cottage. Still have a lot of trimming and a few more trees to pull out, but almost there... My little tractor I got is great. It's already paid for itself IMO #tractor

Just had to get un-banned from Reddit...apparently something I wrote looked threatening. I was telling people that if they break into the small rural church next door looking for ghosts I might respond angrily.

I want a tractor...I have to clear a driveway at least 300 feet long and an area for a cottage. It's covered in small spruce trees, most xmas tree sized, I have to pull them out. Been doing it with my SUV, but a tractor would be great. Going to look at an old Massey Ferguson 1040 soon. #tractor

I can't find my glasses. I mostly use them for driving and switch back and forth from sunglasses, so didn't miss them until today and I can't remember where I last wore them. They may be sitting on a log on the beach...

I give up...I just ordered cheapo glasses online to be delivered here to the island. I have glasses back at home, I have two pairs of sunglasses with me, but nothing for driving at night here.

As I thought, I ordered new glasses, so my old ones have been found. Sister-in-law found them under some chair cushions.

I added a Snowy Owl to my Merlin list. It didn't believe me at first, had to override it. Didn't get a great shot, didn't let me got too near. #birds #owls

I think I just sold my Audi Q7. Took a deposit, we're both going out of town so will complete the deal later. Finally sold to a guy who knew what he was looking at and not a lowballing reseller. Marketplace is brutal.

Oh my God it is such a pain in the ass to try and sell a vehicle on Marketplace. So many idiots and scammers. The more expensive the item being sold, the worse it is. Anybody want a used Audi Q7?

Our older shelties need a veterinary teeth cleaning. We got an estimate from our regular vet here in Kingston, about $3000 for each dog. We're going to NB next month, so got an estimate from the local vet we go to when we're there.... $900 per dog. WTF? Corporate vets gouging #dogsofbluesky
