Wildflower garden is loving the rain. I hate it.

Tell to come to Canada. Safe here and she has a ton of followers.

File this one under 'ran when parked.' Just kidding. Parts of this heavy metal sculpture may have run at some point in their lives, but never as a unit. Rusting in peace at the Saskatoon Farm south of Calgary, Canada 🇨🇦

I have no idea what this guy is doing, but I am really really jealous.

The Winter that just won't end made another charge today, dropping multiple centimeters of you-know-what on Calgary. I'm not sure what it will take to get Spring to out in a serious appearance.

This is what real leaders do.

RosieRocket folded the paper and stapled it to make a book and then filled it with what she called, "kid writing. Adults can't read it." And she was right about that. Note delicately raised pinkie. My gratuitousgranddaughtergraphic for today.

One year clean and my dealer shows up at my door.

50, not 60.

Someone told me that Ireland had 60 shades of green. After visiting there, my thought was, "Only 50?" This is the view from Blarney Castle toward the Poison Garden. And yes, there are samples and seeds in the gift shop.

Actually, the #Bushmills bottle is perfectly vertical. I am the one who is tilting. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day. May your roof never fall in, and those beneath it never fall out.

Sorry! This overnight dump is my fault. I put away the snow shovel yesterday.

Just to show it's not done yet, Winter dropped a cold, white reminder last night that it's only March and motorcycling season is still in the distant future.

Spring cleaning... I have GOT to start throwing stuff out.

Drifter Don @drifterdon.bsky.social · Feb 22

Today's very spring-like weather in Calgary causes thoughts to wander to motorcycle-riding weather and the resulting trips. This one was to Salt Spring Island on BC's West Coast.

Carson Daniel is not much on crafts, but coffee filter, marker-smeared, clothes-pinned, pipe-cleanered butterflies caught his 7-year-old imagination.

(And two Victory non-riding jackets and a rain jacket... Do those count?)

Ashamed to admit it, but had to go count them...9 riding jackets, but one isn't mine.

When the #snow comes in #sideways and it's -19c for the day's high, green #trees become #frosted against eye-achingly #blue #skies. #Winter in #Alberta.

A true warrior, like her namesake.

I am okay with the #Jawas at the #party, but who invited the Sand People? Remember what happened last time? Actual event was a couple of days ago, but I just now sobered up enough to post. 😉 #birthday #Starwars #Sandpeople.

Birthday card from my constant riding companion. Inside it says, "Over the hill?" and he scribed in capital letters, " NAH!"
