Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee! Another warm and sunny day here. Yesterday it got to 27C (81F), which is fairly warm for this time of year. I'm in the middle of hand-stripping Salt (who is not so little anymore). Buoy is next on the agenda. Just in time for the good weather!

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL! Another nice day here and things are finally drying out. My dahlias suffered a bit from the wet and cold weather - definitely more losses than normal, but it was a year in which I couldn't baby them along. Good for sorting out which will thrive in...

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL! It's a beautiful sunny morning again here. I am gearing up to do some planting!

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL! I also had a bad bought of insomnia last night... not very pleasant, but happens from time to time for me when I have too much on my mind. There are still good physicians out there! I have a wonderful one, but I think they are perhaps a bit easier...

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL! Beautiful sunny morning here after a very rainy day yesterday. I think there's more dark clouds on the way though! I'm slowly slipping back into a normal routine and thankful to be back in the yard once again!

Good afternoon Cafe! Thanks for the coffee. I'm finally back from two weeks in Hawaii (and then a quick trip within the province). Did not have time for much other thank teaching, but I think I need a rest now 😝 Here are some photos of the cetaceans I saw there - including a first for me...

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee. Another beautiful morning here and a busy day ahead.

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee. Last night we went down to Kona to watch the reef mantas - there’s a hotel there that has a few spotlights in the water and the rays have been going there for 60 years.

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee! I write this morning from Hawaii - helping teach some field courses here and finishing up writing my thesis.

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee - it is dearly needed today. We had Mother’s Day dinner last night and my sister is back from South Africa to pick up her pup (which we kept here while she was away on her honeymoon - her husband is from South Africa so they went back there for a...

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL! Sorry to hear about the pain... It's going to hit 76 degrees here (over 24 Celsius), entering our first warmer period of the year. Summer has apparently arrived. Here's some ranunculus I picked for the house - they are too far open to sell, so we...

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL! Scary to read about all the weather brewing (especially in places where it wasn't common in the past).

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL! Ah, the beach is a good place to be!

Hi Cafe! Another busy week in the books - I was at a few meetings and then had semester grading deadlines. Was on the ferry to Vancouver Island this past Wednesday and stumbled upon a family of killer whales I know while we were navigating a pass!

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee. Busy morning with lots of marking today. Picked a bunch of flowers to send to the local flower farmer - supplementing her stock for these next few weeks as I don't have time to sell them personally.
