    Another neighbour basking in the sun. 🐍 I wonder if we have a whole family living here or if our property is just the hip local snake hangout this year. #snake

Hopefully, by next year, I&amp;#39;ll be able to know exactly what I need to refill, where each packet is, and when everythi...

    Went to the botanical garden yesterday with the family. Always a good time. And, while most cherry trees were not quite ready to bloom yet, we saw at least one that was beautifully pink. 🌸 #botanicalgarden #koifish #cherryblossom

    We were a little worried that the late and harsh winter would damage the #garlic, but it appears to be thriving! 🧄 In fact, every single variety we are testing is looking good so far. #growyourown

    With the naked eye, you could only see a shift of green and red tones on the horizon. Still, it&amp;#39;s always very cool to observe #auroraborealis .
