It's finally raining! It's not nearly enough, but it's something! π
I wish it would pour over the Avalon and Central for a week.
I would take it if I could!
Who locally needs a timeline cleanse from wildfires and evacuation alerts and orders? Doggy daycare celebrated the summer weather today!
omg our resources cannot cope.
Can we please get some freaking rain??? And a lot of it???
Far too much with an out of control fire a few minutes from multiple subdivisions with thousands of residents.
It just happened. Closed between Pitts and Foxtrap Access due to the fire at Paddy's Pond.
TCH is closed at Paddy's Pond, fyi.
I don't know when we'll get rain. We need a solid week of it, but there's none in the forecast. I hope you get rain soon.
We're in a drought here, and our premier described the province as a tinderbox. Multiple active wildfires, and no rain in the 7 day forecast. Firefighters and equipment from at least 4 provinces plus Armed Forces...it's brutal.
I really hate complaining about fantastic summer weather. But we desperately need a solid week of rain. The entire province does, really. The current forest fires (and potential for more) is so unsettling - worse for those directly affected of course.
We had a great time, and ended up spending all afternoon together! π
I just made plans to meet my 2nd cousin in person for the first time tomorrow! She's a dual-citizen and recently moved here. π
Just watched Ozzy's funeral procession on YouTube, and poor Sharon looks frail. I know the family live very publicly, but dealing with grief is a whole other thing and I hope they can be allowed to do so privately as needed.
Very busy weekend with the genealogy conference all weekend, but my 13 daughter also got home from Cadet camp last night after 3 weeks! It was her first time away from home more than just a couple of days, and she absolutely loved it! I may be in trouble now. ππ
What a great weekend! I met David (and we share a NL surname in our trees, so we have to discuss that to see if we connect lol). Thanks so much for coming to St. John's @dlgenealogist.bsky.social! It's been a pleasure and an honour meeting you and hearing you speak in person.
First person I spotted at the archives tour this afternoon was @dlgenealogist.bsky.social but didn't get to say hi. And 15 minutes in, I spotted my 4th cousin whom I had never met in person and did get to chat. Great start to #RockBoundRoots!
Saw you at the archives this afternoon but didn't get a chance to say hi. Hopefully over the weekend! Welcome to St. John's!
I have a love/hate relationship with the Retinol commercial using Donna and David (iykyk). Because obviously I remember them, but the audacity to suggest I'm getting older. π On an unrelated note, anyone know where I can stream BH90210 in Canada? π€
Sunset last night from Corner Brook, NL over the Bay of Islands.
She'll likely be there, then, by the sounds of it.
Too bad. This is Sailing 1, so it's just a 3 week camp that ends July 25.
Her CO isn't sure if the CTC dorm is at RMC or not. It must be close by, at least. Will L be in Kingston or PEI this summer? She's allowed off-base with my permission if they know who she's with and time in advance, would be cool for cousins to get together if he'll be around!

Very short notice, but we found out this morning that my daughter got accepted to Cadet camp, Sailing in Kingston ON - her top choice! She leaves on Sunday! π³ Bit of a hectic day today trying to sort everything out! So happy for her! π

Off to St. David's Park this morning (11:00) for Memorial Day before celebrating Canada Day after lunch! Who else is observing Memorisl Day?
Of course!
I have a π³οΈβπ bowtie attached to my dog's harness, and he keeps getting smiles and compliments on it everywhere we go: doggy daycare, pet store, pet expo, and various trails around town. I always overhear excited comments between families or groups of friends about "bowtie" lol. π
