Moon halo last night. Caused by moonlight refracting through millions of tiny, hexagonal ice crystals in high-altitude cirrus clouds (according to Google). Folklore says seeing it could mean good luck or incoming challenges. I will take the good luck, thanks!

Great message for everyone. I know this is part of effort to provide touch points to customers, but I really like the messages baristas put on the cups. It inspires the baristas and shares positivity. Despite having two Starbucks-relayed posts on my feed, I am not affiliated, just have occasional bad headaches (see previous post).

Our little flag in the snowbank outside our place. Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Canadian flag on flag day. My mom told me today one of the proposed designs had blue bars to represent sea to sea. I'm glad they chose the red and white one for its simplicity. 🇨🇦

Came back from a walk in the snow this morning to find someone had cleared off my car. 😀
