Morning! I randomly decided to open this app today for the first time in a couple mths (life's been busy) 😅

Here's a sunny Vancouver Island beach pic to get your day/week started off right 💜
A bunch of boulders and smaller rocks in the foreground, with a small dune and overhanging trees on the left, the ocean on the right and a bright blue sky with wispy white clouds above.

Took my paddleboard out for its maiden voyage today, and it couldn't have been better conditions. No wind, a lake like glass, and me in my floppy hat 😄 #paddling #SummerFun
Sandy beach on the bottom left, lake reeds on the bottom right. Beautiful blur lake in the background, with nothing but blue sky above it all. White and teal Aqua Plus inflatable paddleboard resting on the grass post-paddle. Selfie of white woman (Jessbrarian) with chin length curly red hair wearing a floppy hat and sunglasses smiling at the camera with the beach and lake in the background.

When my spouse and I spent a blissful year living in St. John's, NL, the lead singer of Great Big Sea (Allan Doyle), used to order a "big coffee" from me about once a week.

It's been so delightful seeing everyone's #SpringBloom posts, I thought I'd share my own. This is our crab apple tree in full #bloom, her name is Crabby Annie 😌🌳 #BloomScrolling #GardeningBluesky #BloomSky #garden #sprinh
Shot of three crab apple tree branches bursting with white blossoms against a bright blue sky with a few wispy white clouds. Closer shot of two crab apple tree branches filled with so many blossoms, it looks like someone glued heaps of cotton balls to the tree. Close-up shot of one sprig of crab apple blossoms. Individual petals and leaves are visible, along with more blossoms, our lilac hedge, and the corner of our house in the background.

While in #yxe for a #library conference, I took myself on a self-guided tour of #Saskatoon Public Library. I ended up being invited to make slime! 😄 #LibraryTourism #LibraryLife

Picture of the wide open manga and graphic novel section, with a Hot Titles shelf and a few groupings of tables and chairs in the foreground. View down one aisle of the Adult Non-Fiction stacks towards the lobby. Two SPL bookmarks on left, a copy of the SPL guide on the right, with bright blue glittery slime in a ziplock bag in the middle.

Visiting my og ride or die this week and she showed me two cards I made for her ages ago. She uses them as bookmarks in her fav rereads. I didn't even remember making them 😅

You never know what will matter most to those you love. Make every moment count 🥰
#friendship #memories
Handmade card on pink printer paper with a cut out of a great Dane wearing a tutu, feather boa and party hat with caption "Cheer up! Why the long face?" Inside of handmade card with left hand side caption reading "or wherever I am when you get this" and a full page of caption on the right hand side reading "I love you ton. I miss you tons." Repeated five times and "Just in case you forgot... hope you have a fabulous birthday!" and a hand drawn palm tree on the righthand side of card.

One of my favourite #library people came to the office this week and brought me a pot of tulips 🥰 I'm enjoying watching them slowly bloom! #LibraryLife #SpringIsHere
Side view of potted tulips. Most of the flowers shown are closed and yellow in colour. One flower in the centre is starting to open and the petals have turned a peach-pink colour with yellow edging.
