@FeloniousPunk Another vote for kdenlive - super simple.

If you've used any other video editor, it'll be familiar.

Things were different here, not so very long ago.

I'm not entirely sure - my dad is a town counselor for the township of Armor, but my sister told me about the state of one of the sites, I was pretty sure it was the East site, as it's by/around the church down the road from my parents, I don't know what her source was.

I did send her the northland power link and asked about it, but she may be talking about the Peggs mountain road site.

I have family that work (currently and formerly) within OPG and HydroOne, so I could likely find out.

Wonder if they'll finally bring the Burks falls solar plant online, which has been finished and ready, but not actually connected to the grid since the ontario government cancelled the contract a week from the date it was supposed to be connected.

She lived a full life, simply and quietly, with few frills, but with intention.

She had what she needed, and not much more.

She was not one to waste anything that could otherwise be used or saved.

My grandmother passed away on Friday morning - she was 94.
Her 95th birthday would have been the 21st of April.

She was french Canadian, and grew up in the 1930’s and 40’s in northern Ontario, near the Quebec border, on a farm in the area between the town of New Liskeard and Englehart.
My grandfather was a miner, at a silver mine in nearby Cobalt. He died in 1994 of rheumatoid arthritis.

My grandmother lived in the same house, on the same street in Milton Ontario for over 50 years, much of that on her own after my grandfather died - and the house stayed largely the same that entire time.

For decades, she had an enormous garden with lettuce, beans, tomatoes, and zucchini until about 2016 when she smoothed out all the furrowed rows and planted grass over it all.

She used to have a peach tree in her yard too, and every year she would make jams and can the peaches from it.

Gut instinct says no, but also I hope we never find out the answer.

This week I made a spinach artichoke quiche with a hashbrown crust

I often look at many recipes for the same or adjacent dishes, combine the parts I like/find interesting. I use that as a general guide, and kinda freestyle after that.

I rarely use a recipe for day to day cooking unless I'm making something super specific or very unfamiliar.

Most stuff turns out just fine, the only downside is I rarely make anything the exact same way more than once.

But unless it's a dish consisting entirely of staples, I'm always just working with what I've got on hand, and that changes not infrequently.

We had a visit from a groundhog this afternoon!
