An overcast breezy day on #SableIsland, a landscape in spring colours. In a sheltered area, a temporary pool of fresh water is in the middle of a cranberry patch. During winter & early spring, the water covers most of the patch, but it recedes with the approach of summer (1/2)
Oh, I don’t mean just the tree; of course it’s lovely...but I meant everything, the garden & the orchard & the brook & the woods, the whole big dear world. Don’t you feel as if you just loved the world on a morning like this?

@MikmakiNews Avoid soaps/scents and water whenever possible until it heals, and wear gloves for chores. A pharmacist gave me the best advice: bit of cortisone cream mixed with a bit of polysporin a few times a day/sparingly, and moisturize like crazy in between. I hope it gets better soon!
This is remarkable. A colleague's sister in Nova Scotia is raffling off hand painted Easter eggs to raise money for Ukrainian refugees. They are stunning works of art.

My son was almost hit by a car on the way to school today.
On a walk signal at an intersection (Connaught & Quinpool) with a crossing guard.
Why? Because the driver was on her phone and didn't stop at the red light. I had to pull him back onto the sidewalk.
Do better, drivers.
