An old tree stump that has a nice thick layer of bright green moss on top and a young tree growing out of it.
The sun was hitting this spot in the forest just right today.
Life growing from decay. 🌱

Good day to be outside.

Mossy rocks surrounded by forest trees with the sun shining
Logging road heading up, surtounded by forest,with blue sky and a mountain in the background.
Went on my long walk today. Sunshine makes everything beautiful.

A small bird is perched on a rustic, log-style wooden bird feeder hanging outdoors in a wooded area. The feeder has a sign that reads 'Organic Mechanix'.
A local artist makes these bird feeders. This one has the name of my husbands shop on it.
The birds are joyful this morning. Mating season has begun.

A big lush garden with all kinds of food in full growth mid summer. Im standing amongst the corn and you can hardly see me.
This was me in my garden several years ago. Back when I'd grow a lot of our food. I'm 4ft11inches just FYI 😂

It's monday and it's snowing. We had no snow and now we have 3 inches. Like an unwanted erection this time of year can be irritating.

Black cat sitting on a pink blanket on the couch and looking straight into the camera.
My cat thinks she should be able to sniff all my food as if I'm trying to sneak something good past her without sharing.

My greenhouse house is finally all up. I installed the rollers today. That always takes me a while. On rainy days its a nice place cause I can still work in the dirt ☺️🌱🪴 Lots of clean up to do.
My WW3 Greenhouse is ready. 😂☺️🌱🪴

Forest with lots of sun shining in. Nice green moss covers parts of the path that meanders through.
This was a great moment of light. The forest looks so beautiful.

Went on an 8k walk today around our "loop." I've never walked it before. Here is a thread of some of the beauty around here.

9 different picture from the 80s showing the "wood grain" esthetic of the era. From cars, to the first game consoles, the alarm clock everybody owned at one point and microwaves and dishwashers and wood paneling.
The nostalgia feeling I get from this is the horror of my childhood of neglect lol. Yet still there's the inkling of moments I did enjoy. Like the very first Nintendo console and Walkman. Two things that gave me freedom to experience a world all by myself.

Calvin, a little boy with blonde hair and Hobbes his animated stuffed tiger bear, sitting outside under a dark sky star watching. Calvin says "If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I'll bet they'd live a lot differently.
Got up at 3:30am this morning to catch part of the lunar eclipse before it went behind the mountain. Always a cool experience. 🌗

Me with my messy dark purple hair that goes past my shoulders and translucent purple glasses with that dorky smile that invites you in for a hug.
I love being out in the sun. I promise I don't smoke dope (nothing wrong with that tho!) But I always look baked. Must be the Kootenay air. 😂

And old CPR telegraph line next to the Slocan Valley Rail Trail. The Slocan River flowing off on the right. Far in the background you can see Frog Peak looking majestic.
An old CPR telegraph line. I love how this picture speaks of the nature of time. Here and then gone but a ghost remains.

A nice sunny day on the Slocan Rail Trail with different forest tees on each side.
The Slocan River meandering through next to the rail trail. Beautiful mountains in the background with a blue sky.
Really cool giant rock thr size of a pickup truck. It is sitting at the edge of the Slocan River and has an old tree stump stuck up against it. The River flowing in the background.
The Slocan River flowing next to the rail trail onbthr far left with a big bright sun up in the blue sky. Forest surrounding each at the banks.
Went on a long walk today. Thought you might like to see some of the beauty I saw.

A while sign printed in green letters that says farm stand. Someone built a tiny snowman that sits on the peak of the sandwich board. Snow all around on the ground with a small road dotted with forest beyond the sign.
Small wooden winter farm stand stocked with homemade beeswax candles.
One of the reasons I love where I live. Small community homesteading and sustainable farming. This time of year there's not much for sale other than homemade beeswax candles.

An icecream bucket full Half full of shredded soap bars and washing powder and borax. Its multicolored soap sheds look fancy.
The homemade laundry soap in a big metal mixing bowl with the Arm and Hammer laundry additive powder and borax box behind it.
I made some homemade laundry soap from a bunch of old soap bar scraps. Looks all fancy cause of the different colors. 😂
