Best I can do is a book cover:

Orion was a medium haired orange tabby who went OTRB in July 2024. A photo from this day in 2011 (he’s 4) sitting tall on a wood striped kitchen island with his paws on the edge. Note his little pink nose and cream face in contrast with his green eyes and orange fur.

Winter is coming in Halifax
First snowfall. A “skiff” of snow outlines a deck with red rails and a Berberi behind. Clumps of snow in the green grass behind. A wooden bench.

Yet St John’s had a parade with the RCN and the CLB band and bunting. What was different? Maybe it was the local government? I know that the RCN Comd took the blame.

Lezlie Lowe’s book The Volunteers was a very interesting read. I need to read Stephen Kimber’s “Sailors, Slackers and Blind Pigs”

The crows must have taken a day off because it was the first time I saw pigeons in our yard. (I have seen them nearby on Chandler Dr.)
Three pigeons checking out the fallen maple leaves on a grassy slope. Late afternoon so the shadows of the trees are long on the ground.

Orion 🌈🦁🧡 would remind us that we had similar wet conditions on this day in 2020. Never a fan of getting his furs wet though. 😹🦁 #ThrowbackThursday #CatsOfBlueSky
Orion was a medium haired orange tabby who went OTRB July 2024. A photo from Nov 2020. He’s standing on a damp grey pave stone walkway looking back over his left shoulder. The lighter tip on his tail is a bright spot in a dull day.

Herself is doing the door wearing a Jays hoodie and she’s getting compliments on the “Let’s Go Blue Jays” banner from Dunedin Ballpark.
A light blue heavy vinyl banner with grommets around the perimeter is hung over gray wood siding. The lettering is “Let’s Go Blue Jays” And there are palm trees in blue and red.

Orion was a medium haired orange tabby who went OTRB July 2024. A pic from 2015 as he is standing on a wood strip kitchen island while wearing a “small dog” sized Toronto Blue Jays necker. His green eyes are big and round and his light cream face is visible under the lights.

He’s waiting for staff to get it together. 😹🦁 #AdoptDontShop #CatsOfBluesky

There was a pop-up sale on chicken wings at Gateway so I had to do it. 6 hours marinade and a little mesquite smoke to start. Another nice day in #Halisky
Chicken wings roasting in a drum on a bbq rotisserie; an aluminum drip pan underneath; flame visible in the burner at the back. The bbq control knobs are red and purple.

I hung the banner @lesleynope.bsky.social and some of the neighbours have noticed. 😂😁

A high if 29° today (but only 22° at the beach) so “Chasing Sun” from Port Rexton Brewing Co in NL seems appropriate. A NEIPA, 5.7% of juicy, hazy adventure. Very easy going down.

Bonus pic: Lawrencetown Beach.
A deep golden beer in a stemmed glass with a creamy head. Next to it is the can from Port Recton Brewing Co - white letters on a green background. The lower half of the can has bands of colour from green through orange and into yellow at the bottom. The item “Chasing Sun” is in the yellow band. A picture of a sandy beach with a shingle high tide berm. Blue sky with the sun reflecting at the margin between sky and water; waves breaking on the shore as the tide recedes.

Orion was a medium haired orange tabby who went OTRB July 2024. He’s loafing on a pile of fallen maple leaves on the grass with a large maple tree base over his right shoulder. The sun is shining on his fur and he has his eyes closed. His green harness is visible.
