It may look orangey but this cargo is 100% green! #lovemycargobike #triobike : For everyone that mentioned squirrel issues in my last post: the friendly farmers at my local market @marchejeantalon taught me a trick a few years ago, a plant called ‘Garden Rue’ is very effective for keeping squirrels away. Only this year, husband accidentally mowed ours over 🙄 ... twice 🙄🙄... and the plants remained too small to be effective... hence all the squirrel drama this year 🙄 ... And yes, I’m fully aware, one of these days, my eyes are going to roll off my face 🙄 : Finally, if you were wondering, yes, I propped up the pumpkins with jute just for this shoot... we’re a family of five, there’s only so much pumpkin we can eat! : Happy weekend everyone! xx : : : : : : : #autumnharvest #cargobike #bikelife #veloquebec #velomtl #goinggreen #ecofriendlyliving #racontetonmarché #autumnvibes #changemakers #bethechange #healthyeating #marketdays #fooddiary #mangerquebec #eattheseasons #simplelife #zerowasteliving #sustainability #sustainableliving #seasonpoetry #livethelittlethings #hashtagauthentic #mtlmoments #514eats #ourfoodstories #naturelover
The self-adopted squirrel members of our family kept eating the garden carrots... lucky for us, they moved on to the pears and plums as soon as those started to ripen 🙄 ... so my six-year-old finally did manage to grow some carrots...here is the first and last carrot harvest from last week! (I know it’s October and everyone wants to see pumpkins... at least I got the colour right! 😜) : I’ve had this photo in my head ever since I got my hands on this botanical print... this idea comes from Rodica @rodica_godlewski who does this ever so beautifully all the time! ⠀⠀ : : : : : : #autumn #harvest #carrots #urbangarden #organicgardening #thebeautyofordinarythings #inspiration #shareyourtable #moodofmytable #eatprettythings #seasonaleating #healthyfood #healthyeating #mtlfood #mtlmoments #ihavethisthingfordarkness #foodphotography #mysimplelife #hashtagauthentic #still_life_gallery #stilllifephotography #moodyphotography #ourfoodstories #seasonpoetry #seekthesimplicity #livelittlethings #flatlayforever
It’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and of course I owe a big thank you to everyone here for your support. ⠀⠀ I know I’ve been a bit aloof here lately & I know sometimes what I write is a hard pill to swallow... so I’m even more grateful to you, for sticking by me, for your support and friendship. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Happy weekend and to my Canadian friends, Happy Thanksgiving too! If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the kitchen the next three days! xx : : : : : : : #thankyou #thanksgiving #canadianthanksgiving #october #rose #inspiredbypetals #flowerstagram #flowermagic #ihavethisthingfordarkness #moodyphotography #nothingisordinary #thebeautyofsimplethings #capturinglight #autumnvibes #autumncolours #simpleandstill #asimplelife #underthefloralspell #inspiredbynature #allthingsbotanical #flowermagic #mtlmoments #aquietstyle
The deliciousness that followed our pear harvest two weeks ago... a simple Pear & Almond cake. : Whether you have the privilege of growing your own food or not, know that a lot of effort goes into it. Unfortunately our Western economic model treats food like a disposable, easily replaced commodity... maybe cause the same model is designed to increase the profitability of large food corporations... don’t be fooled, buy local as much as you can, choose fresh vs ultra-processed and stick to homemade, it’s better for you and better for the environment! : Happy new week! : : : : : : #pear #pearcake #cake #autumn #autumnharvest #bakingday #thebakefeed #thenewhealthy #feedfeed #f52grams #lifeandthyme #shareyourtable #foodandwine #mtlmoments #montreal #huffposttaste #buzzfeast #bakefromscratch #homemade #ihavethisthingfordarkness #moodyfood #stilllife #ecofriendly #ecofriendlyliving #zerowaste #urbangarden #organicgardening
Continuing from the discussion of the last post, I guess the best we can do is be the change we wish to see in this world. #quote #MahatamaGandhi 🙏🏼 : I’ve disabled comments today as I always get panicky when I can’t reply on a timely manner... which is pretty much all the time, 😬 pls forgive me. ⠀⠀ : : : : : : : : #quote #GandhiJayanti #Gandhi150 #2ndOctober #nonviolence #october #inspiration #asimplelife #changemakers #wordsofwisdom #wordstoliveby #heart_imprint #moodygrams #moodytones #petals_perfection #inspiredbypetals #underthefloralspell #ihavethisthingfordarkness #naturelover #nature #ecofriendlyliving #everydaymagic #simpleandstill #seasonspoetry
Less than a year ago, my then 10-year-old told me to listen to “this girl named Greta” and we’ve been cheering her on ever since. But I felt like a great big hypocrite today as we hopped on the bus to go join the #globalclimatestrike while husband hopped on a plane, off he went on a business trip in the name of “eternal economic growth”. No matter how many small changes I make, big changes are required by our leaders. We passed laws to abolish slavery, we passed laws to give women the right to vote... now we need laws to combat climate change. I’m glad that in all this darkness there are beacons of light to lead the way. ⠀⠀ : : : : : : : #schoolstrikeforclimate #fridaysforfuture #climatestrike #montreal #mtlmoments #gretathunberg #climatecrisis #thereisnoplanetb #unitedbehindthescience #schoolstrike4climate #howdareyou #climatejustice #earth #zerowastegoals #theuncommonbox #naturelover #anordinarylife

This summer, as every summer, I harvested and dried herbs. When I had enough, I let the rest go to flower to the delight of my 🐝🐝🐝 friends .... If we each only take as much as we need, there can be enough for everyone. ⠀⠀ Happy last day of summer! ⠀⠀ : : : : : : : ⠀⠀ #lessonsfromnature #naturelover #asimplelife #endofsummer #endofgardeningseason #savethebees #organicgardening #urbangarden #neednotgreed #simpleliving #foodforthought #thereisnoplanetb #ecofriendlyliving #thestoryofstuff #climatechange #sustainableliving #sustainable #moodofmytable #foodphotography #myquietbeauty #thesupperclubmag #lifeandthyme #theuncommonbox
Green for hope today... hope that our planet can be green again. Thank you @gretathunberg for inspiring this worldwide movement. 💚 ⠀⠀ Here in Montreal, we will strike next Friday! ⠀⠀ #globalclimatestrike #climatechange #climatecrisis #thereisnoplanetb #climatejustice #climatestrike #timeforchange #earth #nature #naturelover #takeaction #inspiration #noplanetb #zerowastegoals #theuncommonbox #reducecarbonfootprint #mysimplelife #anordinarylife
