I Am 🇨🇦
@mckenziebonniem.bsky.social
I am Canadian, humanist & believe in social democracy. I paint rocks, take photos, paint in watercolour (beginner), love all animals especially cats and humpback whales. Retired nurse. Zero tolerance for racists, stupidity and organized religion.
Senator Collins-R is at it again, gaslighting Canada which Republicans seem to have polished into a fine art. I have two words for Senator Collins,
Fuck You. 🖕🏻

First cucumber of the season last week. Oh so tasty.
With big grocery stores continuing to stock mostly US produce I am happy that I can grow my own in the summer.
The cyclospora outbreak in the USA is yet another reason to shop local. I wish it was possible all year long.

Pretty chill during an outbreak of severe weather.

New foster, arrived in my home on Thursday. She was returned to the rescue due to " family circumstances". She's only 5 years old and morbidly obese so we're going to work on a slow weight loss plan. She's beautiful.

My handsome foster went to his furever home on Sunday.
I was a little surprised at how hard it was to say goodbye to him. I wish him a good life and a long life surrounded by people who love him.

Foster cat Grey and I are very happy to hear of Brix's continued improvement.

Woke him up. His 5 a.m. wakeups would be great if I was still working. Well aware cats are nocturnal but I no longer am.

Beautiful nature. I plan to take in the beauty around me everyday before it is gone.

Decided to make my own Christmas cards this year. This beginner is keeping it simple.

Third and last gladiola clipping from last week prior to the overnight frost.

Gladiolus in mid-october? Yes. Long story short, rabbits devoured to the stump. Realized they would never grow so planted three new bulbs early august, put chicken wire around them and voila! Had to cut them which I never do because of the frost we had. Best part is, I bought the bulbs at Dollarama.

Presenting the Canada Goose, aka the Cobra Chicken, on guard for thee. Staging has begun and the numbers increase daily as they prepare for the trip south. They deserve respect and a wide berth. Remember to watch where you step. They shit like crazy.

Life is difficult. Fence hanging takes work.
