Bromont had their Visual Arts Symposium this weekend. It was our first time going to downtown and absolutely astounded and elated to see the bustling main street filled with 125 artists showcasing their artwork. Beautiful paintings galore, but you really have to go there determined to spend a hefty amount to bring a canvas home. However, worth the visit to see local talent showcase.

30-50mm of rain projected for on Friday. Les Cowboys Fringants cancel their appearance at La FĂȘte du Lac-des-Nations, which is a week long festival in , and replaced with Simple Plan as headlining show. Big plus of this fest is the nightly firework show. Though I get that it’s not the most friendly for critters in their natural environment. They also keep touting about a drone show but keep mum of time and date đŸ€”

Rain storm and flooding not enough? How about hail and a tornado to add to the mix for the end of the day? Wishing much luck to , which has more ripe conditions for a tornado. We'll be getting more rain in the evening but not as much as Monday night.

The torrential rains have flooded parts of , including Bishop University’s campus, a camping island, and forced 300 ppl to evacuate. Luckily, we live on the hills. But it’s the first time I’ve seen our tiny rivers swell up to over 20ft!

Hold onto yer life jackets, it's going to rain 30-60mm today alone in . We have a warning to stay away from rivers and streams which can overflow. I know in the Magog river is only about a couple of feet below pedestrian pathways under bridges. It wouldn't take much to flood them, but they have draining valves for this purpose.

Anyway, the rainy summer continues, I call this monsoon season.

C'est la premiÚre fois que je reçois une alerte pareille sur mon cellulaire:

Suspect armĂ© et dangereux dans le secteur de en . Verrouillez vos portes et tenez loins des fenĂȘtres.

D'habitude les alertes par cell sont pour des Alertes Amber, mais là c'est la premiùre fois pour une situation dangereuse 👀

Je sais pas qui qui a approvĂ© le changement de texte chez l’ensemble des sites des journaux de La Tribune et La Voix de L’Est, mais les sites sont maintenant illisible! On a besoin d’une loupe pour lire les titres d’articles. 🔎 SVP changez la taille du texte.

Quebec may not get season, unless you're at the , but we do get apple blossom season, usually around mid to end of May. Here are a few shots that I took at the Botanical Gardens in the year where the cherry, plum and magnolia blossoms were out in early May 2021.

If you're in , try to visit when these are in bloom!

In , it seems that the apple orchards also have their season end of May, could be a good time to visit.

All this train talk really makes me wish that would get a move on in getting the Orford Express (or at least that rail line) moving again within the region. I never got to experience it, but would be nice to get passenger rail here again.

Also, support your local flower farms! There’s a growing movement of flower farms that offer locally grown bouquets, seeds and bulbs. Better for the environment, get better varieties and not become wholly dependent on imports from Holland. I learned last year that Victoriaville even has a peony society where they compete for best blooms for this flower!

Mont-Orford et Magog avec des navettes autonomes d’ici 2025. Je trouve ça intĂ©ressant! À la place d’un train et des rails, si on trouvait un moyen d’un transport collectif dont on n’aurait pas besoin de bĂątir des rails mais tout autant capable de transporter plusieurs personnes plus qu’un autobus, je suis pour. Pis en plus, sont tu cute ou quoi! 😍

Je rĂ©alise que je fais partie d’une toute petite population en qui est sur Mastodon. DĂ©jĂ  lĂ  que depuis que j’ai dĂ©mĂ©nagĂ© ici, tout le monde est sur Facebook, mais vraiment moins sur Instagram. Que faire? La technologie bouge plus vite que les rĂ©sidents Estriens. J’attends avec impatience pour que les mĂ©dias se retirent de Twitter. Mais bon, on est lĂ .
