“I will always have enough money
to last the rest of my life…
as long as I don’t buy anything”

Porte Ponderings:

Don’t spend.

Used vs New Nikon Z7II?

Used is $400 less, but you can’t buy insurance and there is no warranty.

I’ve never had a new camera.

It’s probably the last camera I will buy (haha).

OK I’ll buy the new. 😉

But I’ll wait until after the next Camera Canada Event: Landscape Photographer, November 25th.

You will never end war with wars.

~ Nancy Astor

Porte Ponderings:

Spring is such a busy time.

Added to it this year is our fence replacement thanks to a windstorm. Luckily we have insurance, but our backyard looks like a bomb went off. Pieces of fence everywhere. The new fence is starting to take shape.

Then we decided it was time to paint the garage. I can’t plant my vegetable garden until the painting is done. And it’s time to plant. The Horticultural Society had their annual plant sale yesterday. The first market of the year was held last night.

Despite local bylaws fireworks have been let off Friday and Saturday nights. They will also probably be lit tonight and the legal night tomorrow.

DAILY TAROT: IX NINE OF PENTACLES

The more I give,
