Writer, reader, walker, grandmother, thinker. Vancouver is home and where I was born, west coast outpost in Canada, not as much snow, but still strong and free.

Thinking about taking signs down out of the window (thank you Prime Minister Mark Carney) led me to post on my blog yesterday.
I began with a stanza from American poet William Stafford. He was/is brilliant, and not likely he'd be happy about the chaos.

Back home in Vancouver and our air is full of smoke, apparently coming to us from up near Whistler. The moon turned red tonight. Its spooky, for good reason.

Canada is so big. Right now I'm in Newfoundland, nearish to St. John's, which is about 5,000 km from my home in Vancouver. 8,000 km plus a long ferry ride, if we'd driven. Which we did not.
Happy to have come here and happy to be flying home tomorrow.

Travelling in my own country right now.
Something about spending my Canadian dollars here in Canada 🇨🇦 this year just seemed right. This is the last province for me to set foot in. About time too.

Spent part of my Sunday in Van Dusen Botanical Gardens.
Took a homemade latte and an unread book of short stories in translation off my shelf: Words Without Borders. Two stories in, 26 to go. In due course, it will move to my shelf of keepers.
Took some pictures too...
It made for a good day.

What makes a word Canadian?
Sometimes it’s origin. “Demoviction.” “Renoviction.” “Trick or treat.”
Sometimes it’s frequency. “Down island.” “Atmospheric river.” “Zombie fire.”
These are just two of six types of Canadianisms, according to lexicographer Stefan Dollinger. 🇨🇦💬

Taking a break from the city. This is the morning view from the window where I get to sleep, on Salt Spring Island, BC.

Vancouver had a No Tyranny protest outside the US Consulate downtown today. Lots of noise and a decent crowd.
There was an anti-fascist rally about the same time at the Vancouver Art Gallery, smaller.
It's not like the orange genius will notice, but you've gotta do something when madness abounds.
