One thing for mental health: Acceptance. Acceptance is deliberate. It’s active, not passive. It’s recognizing that there are things outside your control, and, your power is in accepting. Acceptance frees you up to act in interesting and different ways. #mentalhealth

Growing up in a small town with natural ice plus the beaver pond we would clear on our river to skate on means that any hockey games after April 1st are beyond the proper season. You go ahead. Have fun. Me? No, thanks. Winter is long enough. #Spring #garden #seeding #Plant2025

I am enjoying the messy process of learning to paint with watercolours. Imagine me taking just those few minutes at the end of the day to create, enjoy, and stretch my brain and body to learn something new. Plus, bookmarks. Because everybody can use bookmarks.

My latest project on my farm walking trails is a β€˜Telephone of the Wind’, known as a wind phone. Last night, the bench arrived so I took the evening to assemble and place it. Now, those who would like to use the phone can relax and take their time. #WindPhone #MassiePanoramicFarm

I took a break from yardwork this evening to sit down and paint. Today’s view was the flag hill at our farm. For me it’s not about how well something turns out. It’s about the process and fun of being creative. My travel watercolour kit brings me joy. #MassiePanoramicFarm

Happy National Doughnut Day everyone! Canada eats more doughnuts per capita than any other nation on the planet. Over one billion doughnuts are consumed annually in Canada. We also have the most doughnut shops per capita. Lloydminster, AB/SK eats the most doughnuts per capita.

I was chatting with a SaltWire journalist this morning and she referenced this song by Stan Roger’s. I’d never heard it. And it’s lovely. #agriculture #farming #Canada The Field Behind the Plow youtu.be/ddBI1WvqgeU?fe… via YouTube

I had an eye-opening conversation yesterday with my nephew, who is a pilot in SK flying north to and from communities and mines. Flying conditions esp takeoff and landing due to high winds were amongst the worst ever during the recent fires. Huge risks for pilots & crews.
