I’ve been night swimming the last few nights, encouraged by warm days and high tides later at night. 9:30 on Sunday, 10:30 Monday. The bioluminescence is blooming, so waiting until full darkness brings a magical quality to swimming that we only get a brief…

The emergency dock at Porteau Cove built in case slides on the highway necessitated taking vehicles out to Vancouver by water. As far as I know it has never been used.

Every Tuesday I go for a walk with a friend and for the last several weeks she has brought me #asparagus from her garden. I think this week might be the last of it so I made a simple tart for dinner to honour this most excellent spring treat. #localharvest #icookmyownfood #superyum
First of the season strawberries from @watercliffpermaculturefarm with fresh made greek yogurt for the win. #bestdessert
Ah! The satisfaction of a new pair of pants fresh off the sewing machine. #sewhouseseven #freerangeslacks is my current favourite pants pattern now that I have modded it to fit me well. #modafabrics #borowovens line was the perfect choice for a pair of lightweight pants for summer. Thanks to @spoolofthread for carrying such great garment fabrics lately! I need more of these! #memademay2020 #isewmyownclothes #sewistsifinstagram #diywardrobe #stayhomeandsew #sewinginreallife #sewingbasics
This might well be the finest batch of rhubarb ketchup I have ever made. Last year's canned tomatoes and this year's rhubarb from #gabriolaisland farmers. #canning #bcfarmersmarket #rhubarb #steamcanning
Haven't posted a #memademay2020 selfie since last week. Not that I haven't been wearing me-made things but I don't have a big wardrobe of stuff at the moment so it gets a bit boring. Today I'm wearing a pair of #closetcasepatterns #pietrapants in light denim and a #unionsttee that I sewed out of fifty cents of dark purple cotton jersey that I bought at the #gabriolaisland recycling org (GIRO) a few months ago. I need some new clothes but I've lost my sewjo a bit lately. Once the nice weather comes I don't like being in my studio as much! #isewmyownclothes #stayhomeandsew #sewinginreallife #sewistsofinstagram #memademay #diywardrobe
More bread experiments. Today I baked a sourdough sandwich loaf which I believed I didn't have to score denser crumb, less springy dough, baked in a loaf pan). Not so! It split itself instead. But no matter, because it still made an excellent fried egg sandwich for lunch.
