Eating seasonally is much more interesting than 'everything available all the time.'
Good to look forward to fiddlehead season, strawberry season, and corn on the cob season, and then eat so much you don't want to see it again until next season. 😆
Summertime = watermelon. It's available all year round, but it just goes with summer.

Not everything can be seasonal (milk, flour, butter, chocolate, etc) but very nice to go with the flow where possible.

Just heard the mayor of a US city on Canadian border saying they have to "keep up the pressure" on Canadians to visit the USA.

Like 'pressure' is going to encourage anyone to come visit (and spend $$$).
Like that's what you want to think about on vacation, your host country pressuring your family.

And, have they ever met a Canadian? We don't respond too well to 'pressure.' Too many lovely, stubborn people have migrated to Canada.

US politicians have lost their minds.

Winter footwear. You know, you walk in the door and there is a scrambled mess of various footwear. :eyeroll: Why!?

My essential winter footwear in Canada (not including boots for sports: skating, skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, curling, etc) Possible to have more than one pair of each, 😇 surely that's someone else's fault.

1. Rain boots
2. Dress boots
3. Walking/hiking boots
4. Serious snow boots
5. Everyday high boots (preferably low heel)

That happened to me a couple of nights ago, couldn't sleep, grumpy, grumpy, grumpy.
Got out of bed, looked out the window in hopes fresh air would solve the problems of the world. Very still, starlit night.
Saw 7 deer lounging on the neighbour's lawn. Lounging in the best relaxing and enjoying the view mode. At midnight. ♥
All my troubles vanished instantly from my sleepy brain. Nature is magic.
There is no human that can do that for me. 😆 (We won't mention that fact to the fam.)

"deflated in the middle" means chewy chocolate chip cookies. I wish I lived next door! 🍪 I'd be happy to handle those rejects.

So, if anybody crosses themselves in public, it would be against the law? If they exclaim "Dear God" it would be illegal. It's all a form of prayer.
I'm onboard with not imposing any religion on anybody, particularly in school, but Legault must be having some kind of episode for this unenforceable idiocy.

Wow!
