🌔 We're in a Waxing Gibbous phase — the Moon's about 87% lit and just four nights from turning Full. Keep an eye out this week too — the August Full Moon (the "Sturgeon Moon") lands August 28, and it comes with a partial lunar eclipse for parts of the country. Worth setting a reminder. #Astronomy

From the Front Yard:
A male Northern Flicker, yellow-shafted subspecies — the common Canadian form (red-shafted is a western/prairie variant). Ground-foragers by nature, mostly hunting ants and beetles in the grass. Calgary, AB. 🇨🇦🐦 #yyc #BirdPhotography

Today was setting up patio furniture day. Purchased and delivered by Canadian Tire, the Vietnamese manufactured set was relatively easy to assemble.

Good morning! ☀️ Relaxing with a perfectly steeped Strawberry Kiwi tea, watching the clock ’til our new patio furniture (Manufactured in Vietnam 🇻🇳 ) rolls in from Canadian Tire! Sunday sunshine + a good brew = the best kind of morning. Happy Sunday, everyone!! 🍓🍃🇨🇦

Cleared the weeds popping up between the deck boards, a couple loads of laundry, check out some Napoleon gas bbq’s, plumber arrived to look over work we wanted him to do and get us a quote. Now I’m enjoying the rest of my day in the back yard. #yyc

Lester the wild rabbit has returned to my backyard and is enjoying a fresh, healthy dandelion salad 🐰🌼
Great to see these urban rabbits bouncing back after being decimated by Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (RHDV2) a few years ago. Nice sign of recovery for Calgary's feral rabbit population. #wildlife
