1. Yellow warblers songs
2. Red-winged Blackbird songs from the tops of last year's cattails
3. Looking outside my kitchen window just as a huge white egret flies by
4. A pair of green herons (I think) flying overhead
5. A swallow with iridescent wings sitting on a powerline and singing

i am a published author in excellent physical condition who cooks and also maintains a number of interesting hobbies yet i am constantly discriminated against in the dating world for my belief that mice have big banquets underground where they drink dandelion wine out of cups made from acorns

Here, have some sunflower seeds li'l friend

Chopping some kindling this morning. We go through it pretty fast on cold weeks like this one.

Is there an account on here that just shares photos and names of trains? I work with a kiddo who loves talking about them and I want to be able to keep up with him, but I need the information at a trickle.

This episode was so delightfully hopeful and silly, and felt like taking a deep breath during a crisis

Rise an shine! New episode on morning in Utopia up now!!

The stuff that came up from the hole was like shaved ice, which I guess is what the blade of the drill was doing.

I got to hand-drill a hole into a frozen creek today, my first time drilling into ice! It was so weirdly satisfying.
We were checking whether the ice depth was enough that it would be safe for children to play on the ice. This spot was solid, but up and down the creek from here the ice was too thin.

Thank you! That makes sense.

This photo is a satellite view of the Great Lakes region in North America, with the lakes labeled in their indigenous names. Here’s a description of the image: Gichi-gami: This is the Ojibwe name for Lake Superior, located in the northern part of the image. Michiganmi: This represents Lake Michigan, positioned to the southwest. Karegnondi: This is the indigenous name for Lake Huron, situated in the central part of the map. Ontari:io/Kanadario: These are the names for Lake Ontario, located in the southeast. The dual naming might reflect different indigenous languages or dialects. Erielhonan: This refers to Lake Erie, found in the southern part of the image.

The Original Indigenous Names for the Great Lakes:

Superior: gichi-gami (great sea)
Erie: erielhonan (long tail)
Michigan: michigami (long body of water)
Ontario: Ontarí'io\kanadario (great lake\beautiful water)
Huron: karegnondi (fresh water sea)

#TeamUnqualified here with a maybe dumb question: what is PV/FPV? Looks like solar power generation? You had me at "lowering lake temperatures", but I don't see it defined in the article or on the website.

Mine just keeps losing his under the dryer, so, unintended hoard?

He is so photogenic though

The forest school educator certification course put on by Child Nature Alliance of Canada (CNAC) feels like a forest school for adults and was a transformative experience for myself and everyone I know who partook. And those happen around the country! I recommend taking a look if you are interested.

There is occasionally a workshop or training for grown-ups 😉 and I know of a few other forest schools in the area that do some programming for adults - stuff like workshops on campfire building, seasonal foraging, basket weaving, and even a men's spoon carving group.

Can Canadians join? For solidarity?

A magical birb came to visit the children at forest school today. Not a great photo - I was busy reveling in the wonder and awe of the moment. (A knowledgeable parent said it's likely a Boreal Owl.)

Oh this looks neat, I'll give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

Pinecones are awesome and I can't believe they're just sorta around.

Where can we find it once it's done? I want to read it.

Beautiful. We accept your offer.
