Merry Christmas blooms from our 40 year old jade plant. It was a cutting from my mom’s 30 year old plant - her cutting was from an elder neighbours ancient plant!

Pen and marker sketch of the CHUM radio building at 1331 Yonge St. Toronto. I worked there for 13 years. Sadly after CHUM assets were acquired by BELL Media the building was razed to make way for condos on the site. Tragic.

Sandy Squirrel is a wild squirrel who stops by daily to see what freebies she can snag. If she doesn’t get our attention at the front door, she’ll go to the back deck window. We can spot her because of a shock of gray in her tail.
