As a Blue Jays fan & Blue Rodeo Fan - we had a huge scheduling conflict last night! Whispers of score updates were quietly shared & "Let's Go Blue Jays" filled the arena before the encore & at the end of the show! A great Canadian night!⚾️🎸🇨🇦 #BlueJays #bluerodeo

BLUE JAYS FOR THE WIN

The Toronto Blue Jays take a 1-0 series lead over the Dodgers to begin the World Series.

An explosive 9-run 6th inning, highlighted by an Addison Barger Grand Slam, propels the Jays to victory. What a night. What a start for Toronto. Back at it tomorrow.

Liquidambar leaf palette just now👇🏼. Pause for a moment if you’re feeling anxious-your brain’s likely to release dopamine due to a positive response to colour gradation, certain bright colours & looking at images our brains find appealing. A pause here will make your day slightly easier to tackle 🍁

Liquidambar leaves laid out in order of colour, green through to deep red, on a buff coloured linen background

Odd Thomas. My 1st 'scary' book I read having let my assumptions/fear avoid them. Tried to return it to the friend who gave it after Chap 1. He made me stick with it and now it finds itself in this post! Taught me that there can be beauty, love, & humour within the thriller/horror genre.

Me too! Our postal workers have been on strike but just announced they will return to rotating strikes. It might be slow but good for all involved to have the service back.

Thankful for this bunch and their willingness to participate in my ideas. Happy Thanksgiving! 🇨🇦

I have often thought that you (and a few others) are the only benefit to being 'here.' Finding ways to keep my feed full of art, health, and friendship is why I stay. Omitting/avoiding the harmful stuff is the challenge.

I thought of you last night as I noticed that I have a pair of scissors in the same basket as my hairbrush and blow dryer! It shouldn't be this convenient!!
