Commissioned a local artist to create a beaded pin of a sea otter. Received it today and it’s beautiful! 🦦💖 #artstr #beadwork

Sketch from a local cafe. I usually don’t draw people, but he was right there at the next table on his own reading, so he didn’t move a lot which was really helpful. 😅 It was also interesting to draw the same thing multiple times and play with abstraction and size on the last two iterations. #sketching

Second round of Mom’s roses. Really glad they came back, as they didn’t get any water while we were away for Mom’s hip replacement trip. #blooming #flowerstr

No wildfires near us, but the smoke from all the ones in BC and Washington are contributing to a Stay Inside Day. 🔥 Photo 1: normal air Photo 2: today’s smoke-filled air #weather #fireseason

New personal best: reached the top of the mountain road!!! ⛰️🎉😁 10,000 steps/4.4 mi/7.1 km round trip A year ago I could walk 1.3 miles. Gradually, then suddenly. 🧡💜💙 #proofofwalk #fitnessover50

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one that went downhill. 2.3 miles round trip on the mountain road this morning. 🥾🥾 #proofofwalk

It’s truly summer when they add the floating bounce house to the lake. #summer #lakelife

Happy Friday! #proofofwalk #birdstr

If you go through Vancouver airport and want a high-end macaron, Ladurée is the place to go. Bought myself a few days’ worth of treats to have with the tea Boyfriend gave me for my trip. Spending the next 6-8+ weeks with my mom for her hip replacement surgery and rehab. #tea #foodstr

Back home after 2 months in Canada helping my mom jump administrative hoops to get hip replacement surgery. Home for 3 weeks before going back up to help with travel to the surgery center in a different province, post-op, travel home, and a few months of rehab. I’m so grateful I’m retired and have the time to be able to do this for her. All the flower photos I’ve been posting were from her garden. She’s very much looking forward to getting back out there once this process is done. This hibiscus (whose flower was larger than my hand) was at a shopping center Boyfriend and I visited yesterday for ice cream and a bookstore. #blooming #flowerstr #family
