I thought it was just another leaf growing, but to my surprise it was a bloom stalk. It lasted less than 24 hours before expiring, and a second opened up. It's always cool to get surprise blooms!

They have guns, too. Thankfully firearms are federally regulated.

What happened "no taxation without representation" that the colonists fought for in the war of independence? Apparently it only applies to white people.

Looks like my neighbour's cat, Crowley. If he's not off skulking in the bushes, he's yeowling loudly off his deck because he hates being limited to the house.

Other names include Cobra Chicken, Royal Canadian Air Force, or Shitbirds.

That is the exact park of my goose encounters, lol. It's oddly comforting to know I was not their only victim.

I wish you the best of luck in convincing them to leave. If you're successful, you must share your secrets.

Oh, I agree. I have far too many memories of being chased around parks as a child in Regina by them. I'm not saying they are wonderful creatures, rather that their legal protections limit what we can actually do about them.

Canada Geese are protected by the migratory birds act between Canada, US and Mexico. The only thing communities can legally do is take the eggs so they don't hatch.

I have a graptoveria that produces air roots constantly, mostly because despite having a perfectly good pot and light source, it does its utmost to grow outside of the pot. Every year I have to chop and prop it to save it from itself.

Don't give them ideas.

Hope no one needs to use the stairs- this looks like an ankle attack zone.

I remember when 'thinspiration' websites were common in late 90's/early 2000's. It was a toxic cesspool of pro-ana pictures and forums.

Zone 8b

Varieties: Russian blue, white

Grown in potato planting bags for good drainage. They are in the process of flowering, and some have produced a fruit (very poisonous - do not eat it). Hoping for lots of potatoes this year 🙂

The floppy plants to the left are garlic (soft and hardneck Italian). They are fine; they got too tall and fell over.

Saw this guy chilling on my deck railing, and as soon as the camera came out, he struck this pose.

This floofy boi befriended me while on a walk around my strata. He's friendly and wants all the pets and scratches.
