The Moose Is Loose! #yqr

We’ve seen a lot of wildlife in the green space behind our house – partridges, rabbits,  even a coyote.  But seeing a moose earlier this week was a new one!

Wine Choices

This chart has nothing to do with the Leafs avoiding the sweep and the Oilers looking like they might have a blow-out shutout (SHUT-OUT!) win tonight.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “I Am *Not* Napping IN Here!” (May 2013)

I feel like posting this picture online is enough to get a call to the authorities! 😉

Friday Fun Link – Everything About Grain Bins (Farmers Are Geniuses)

Spring feels like it’s (almost) here. Even though I haven’t been directly involved in farming for years, like many in Saskatchewan, I start thinking about seeding at this time of year. Here’s an interesting video but unfortunately he doesn’t cover survival strategies if your dad makes you shovel out a grain bin on a super […]

Charlie-Related Google Searches

Since we got Charlie, Google has been our constant source of tips, information and reassurances.  Here’s a sample of some of our Charlie-related searches: “How long do puppies sleep at night?” “Can dogs eat strawberries/celery/tomatoes/raw meat/noodles/potato chips/jalapenos/rice/pancakes/potatoes, etc. etc.” “Why do dogs like to eat Kleenex?” “What is a natural laxative for dogs?” “Do dogs […]

But yes, this drink we invented a few […]

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Seven – Rainbow

Since I said Indigo/Violet were being combined in my Rainbow Challenge, I was hoping to do a final post for day seven of some multi-coloured drinks – the Bob Marley and the Toucan we had at Moon Palace were the drinks I had in mind… Unfortunately, the drinks I got weren’t quite as perfectly formed…

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Six – Indigo/Violet

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Five – Blue
