I’m a #writer #freelancer and #parent living in Guelph, Ontario, #Canada.
I work with a number of community non-profits in areas like #homelessness and #addictions and also #ontag #agriculture #Cdnag. I write short #literary fiction, read a lot and love #theatre.
Figuring things out here.

This week i brought my dad and my son to #outport #newfoundland to open the summer home and visit with family. Dad and his siblings are slowing down, and these visits are a little heavier and more meaningful. It’s a special place, and they love hearing about our adventures here that they can no longer join us for. Yesterday my son got a close look at #dolpins in the wild. “I can see their faces!”
My husband was given a bird feeder with camera for his birthday recently and it's proving very delightful...
Today I struggled to remember the first name of a person I see fairly regularly. Then on the drive home, Ice, Ice, Baby was playing on the radio, and it turns out I still know most of the lyrics. So that's how my 40s are going.
11yo is #wintercamping for real this time. Hope this smile is just as big at pickup tomorrow! #scoutscanada
There goes the car door handle! #freezingrain #ontarioproblems
@corvidresearch I just popped over to see how #croworno is doing on here, but I see it hasn’t made the move. #masscrowdon doesn’t have quite the same ring as #mosstodon or #lichensubscribe, but I’ll bet the community would dig it. (Also I’m thinking #nocrow today.)

Today I'm #editing documents for a #veterinary school, and my brain is translating "feline welfare" to "feline warfare."

So maybe I'm ready to take a break and go to the gym.

I'm in the early days of researching a trip for my #familyof5 to #France with three teens this summer. Flying to #Paris, attending an event in #Valence. Maybe south for a couple days, then #Lyon?

I wonder if we can do this by #train?

Since it's #SuperbOwl Sunday, here's the website @natbat and I launched a few years ago today to help people find their nearest Superb Owl! 🦉 https://www.owlsnearme.com
Find owls near me!

Cold is relative - especially across #Canada. I'm an indoor human in #winter, but today the sun came out, and it felt good to layer up and meet a friend in the world for coffee.
