And monarch is back!!!

I was wondering why the smooth oxeye (false sunflowers) flowers looked so rough this year... The goldfinches are apparently having a buffet in there 😄

What a gorgeous creature

@skinnylatte @Tzipporah And you feel the same with US eggs? I feel like I'd be more careful in places where the eggs are washed 🤔

Oh Trump remembered that he hates Canada, so we're back with threats of higher tariffs in the next week

Edit: Removed the link because it put his face all over everyone timelines, boooo

Life will find a way

I had quite the hard choice to make: chipping sparrow bathing or male cardinal feeding his partner?! 🤭

(I ended up missing most of both by trying to look at both)

And now dinner will be late, oops 😂

NDP statement:

***

“New Democrats condemn Israel’s attacks on residential buildings in Tehran that have led to hundreds of casualties, including civilians.

While we have long condemned Iranian leadership including the IRGC, this illegal act by Israel will only provoke further violence.

This new war, among so many already destroying lives and communities, is a dangerous escalation that will harm millions more innocent people. This is happening as Palestinians starve, with no end to the genocide in sight.

Canadians with loved ones in Iran, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and the wider region are terrified for what may come.

Canada has neglected nuclear disarmament for decades. We urgently need de-escalation, diplomacy, and the rule of law - all principles that Canada has failed to prioritize in its approach to the Middle East.

We renew our calls on Canada to stop arming Netanyahu, who cannot be trusted with anyone’s safety - and who is dragging the world into further chaos and pain.”

I didn't read much news before now... LA friends, are you okay? 😟

@fkamiah17 @selzero which is funny, because even the MAGA from Reddit knew about this (they think he was just on a flight but still haha)

Sometimes you go weed a little bit and find a surprise! Gifted by the wind or a critter. Little fivespot!

A tiny flower just appeared on our blue eyed grass

Got a second one today! Only noticed after I had watered the yard. Blue eyed grass (which is not a grass!) is so cute

The dwarf lilac smells heavenly today!

I didn't know what I wanted to do with my profile picture... But I'm done changing it now, sorry about that 🤣 little chickadee

We'll use the automobile industry tariffs and problems to focus more and more on other transit modes... RIGHT?!?!

Canada and Mexico are not on his little tariffs chart?? Hmmmmm

The renewal of my Nexus card had been *pending* since... 2020. It was impossible to get the interview during that time. And it was still annoying now.

I got the notice that my renewal was now cancelled, five years later lol

Not like we were planning on going to the US soon
