Lucky number 7


For the second time this week, my commute was delayed by a “security incident” on the #yeg LRT. Three stations closed!

I really wish we had safe, predictable transit.


And we're done: we installed the plant wall this weekend! I'm pleased with how the casing makes the wall look like a little window into some distant jungle. The shadows cast by the plants are so dramatic.


Time for electrical on the plant wall: hooking up timer switches to run grow lights and an irrigation pump.


My bird of paradise is putting out a new leaf! The leaf large enough that it has to unfurl in segments. #plants


Where are the Albertans on mastodon? Where’s the #yeg gang? Any handles that folks reccomend?
