Vejigante, a mischievous Puerto Rican folk figure, and quite a good felt bunny. Making connections with our stuff.

I suspect there was a list of who was seen. The feeders were most visible from the stairwell so observations were casual.

In the 1990s (before feeding birds became sketchy) we built this swell structure by the entrance to the @mnhnovascotia.bsky.social . It was to demonstrate various styles of commercial and homemade bird feeders. We thought it looked sort of Italian.

โ€œFrom Greenlandโ€™s Icy Mountainsโ€ the 1819 missionary hymn feels relevant.

Last summer I saved some woody roots of kale plants. Yesterday I made them into miniature "trees." They look a bit scary and reminded me of the disturbing 1894 painting "Evil Mothers" by Giovaqnni Segantini.

Breakfast in the dark and frozen north: a bowl of porridge and a bowl of coffee, and a view of the windswept terrace.

Itโ€™s the anniversary of the 1917 Halifax Explosion. A still and somber morning to visit sites in my neighborhood: a fragment of anchor shank from Mont Blanc, the grave of telegraph operator Vince Coleman, and the field where unidentified dead were buried.

I think they use the same term, but a metric fuckload is comprised of 10 Decifucks, 100 centifucks or 1000 millifucks.

Wow, I love that. In our museum world we discovered in the 1980s that geographers were delightful academic allies. Historians had not yet embraced that material culture and landscapes were also documents. Too busy reading microfilm.
