I've often mentioned that I work at RONA, which is a Canadian competitor to Home Depot and Lowes.
When I was growing up, our family business (Pleasant View Farms) was engaged in the wholesale and retail sales of farm and landscaping/nursery supplies: hardware, fencing, pesticides, plants, hay/straw for bedding, containers, firewood, seed, clothing, paint and on and on.
In 2002, after many years in various endeavours (museums, teaching English, marketing, I was accepted in the seasonal department at RONA, where I employed the skills and knowledge that I had garnered so many years before at Pleasant View Farms.
If you visit while I'm at RONA, you'll likely find me in the greenhouse and/or garden centre. I also spend a good deal of time on the seasonal hardware floor.
It's just part-time... a day or two a week, but it suits nicely.

Laying in bed all day after infusion due to my previous day #2 Pfizer COVID Vaccine. Wasn't too bad considering my health, sore arm, and fatigue and just not feeling well. Pretty good all in all as the nurses warned me with being immunocompromised and in immunotherapy and chemo treatment that I might get sick.
Counting my blessings. Especially when I looked up and saw my ceiling fan "spinning around" and new I had a shot after all for SoS today!
Happy Smile on Saturday! :-), peeps.
I wanted to use me with hands in the air spinning around. One of my first favorite contemporary Christian songs Marvelous Light had in the lyrics, "lift my hands and spin around" ... couldn't do it by myself though!

We always keep a couple of bats in the house to keep the pests under control. It's daytime, so they're just chilling right now.

Idle afternoon,post lunch siesta. I like the way light from the window dances around the room creating a mosaic of shadows.
a quiet procession beneath a vaulted canopy of wood and knowledge. late afternoon light cuts through the upper windows, casting shadows like memories on the ceiling of this timeless library. in the hush of this november tour, visitors drift through the corridors as if walking into the past — reverent, curious, almost whispering in their movements.
this image was taken during the "Dia de les Portes Obertes" (open doors day) in palma, held annually on november 10th. the building is the parlament de les illes balears, located in the old town of palma. the room is part of the historic biblioteca del parlament, housed in the former cambra de comerç building. it’s a neogothic hall, rich in carved wood and layered history — once a space of merchants and commerce, now a chamber of politics and legacy.
Played with this a lot. Took as a starting point one of those circular fans set into ceilings, warped and warped and then added my favourite Cy Parrish texture. I love what happened. Cold here today
Locked down and looking up. Day 1 of Ontario’s 28-day stay-at-home order. Expect lots of interiors for the next month…
After walking on the treadmill, I laid down on the sofa and played around with my camera's shutter speed.
