It smells like it's going to snow.

Take Your Kid to Work Day.

Isn't it adorable? And we got several!

What happens when you plant pie pumpkins too close to the butternut squash? The bees crosspollinate two similar squash... cool!!!

Unwinding this long weekend with PEI beach time, books, puzzles, and board games.

We counted 14 within sight at the same time and all with parallel tails left behind. Looked like an end of times movie scene.

Done! Woke up in St. John's (4 am NST), flew to Halifax, drove to Fredericton to collect my FamJam, and made it to Charlottetown for 9 pm AST... in a mere 17.5 hours. Four Atlantic provincial capitals in a single day. #SocialStudiesNerd #ProbablyGonnaFindaTypoTired

Caught the typo.... all 4* but to be fair it was very early in the morning and I hadn't had a coffee yet.

Anyone know why so many planes are flying parallel over Fredericton right now?

Trying to not nap. Fall colours are so beautiful.

Today I woke up in St John's and by the time I go to bed I am going to set foot in all for Atlantic capitals.

Of machine writing... "It goes without saying that anything so produced would be rubbish; but anything that was not rubbish would endanger the structure of the state." And here we are in the age of AI...

So he has moved on to juggling pins now...

I just finished my favorite lecture of the year, in which I give my 105 students their first homework assignment (that I stole from Dave Jablonski): present the history of the Earth scaled to something with a distinct beginning, middle, end, etc. I made an example using Bohemian Rhapsody. There are…

Heads-up the Midway at the FREX is closed today and tomorrow. More than a few families wandering the barren grounds with confused ( at best ) or tearful kiddos. The petting zoo and agricultural aspects are open as does appear to be the Dippy Dog stand.

Drivers and commuters please remember the kids are back to school today! Please be extra attentive and patient so everyone gets to their destination safely.

Last year, my husband bumped into the mom of 3 boys he had taught at NHS. He gave her a big hug, she hugged him back, and said how great it was to see him. He asked after her kids by name... they realized they didn't know one another.

I highly recommend Second Chances band to give you the environment to learn a new instrument.

Trees on Fire Apparel Casual wildfire apparel in support of mental health for wildfire professionals and those most impacted by wildfire.

Posting this again as the impacts of wildfires are more acutely felt in our own backyard. Proud of my cousin ( who has been in the fire service his entire working life) for starting this initiative: treesonfireapparel.com

Our first visit to the Kejimkujik Seaside adjunct. Incredible. We will be back.

Found an incredible cottage to rent in NS. You have a 10 minute hike in. Enough solar power for lamps in the evening. Lots of fresh water waiting and an ice box. But wait there is more... a tower, stained glass windows, wood panels from Stanton Island! Just what the Doctor ordered.
