Back at the play centre garden today, where I removed the shade cloth off the 2 raised vegetable beds in the hope of some rain.
They are looking bare after the summer.
I did find some strawberry runners which I replanted in the barest one, ahead of further seeds and stuff next week.
The garden is now mature enough to provide some cuttings, seeds and runners, which makes me happy.
What It’s REALLY Like on a Dolphin Research Expedition - videos.trom.tf/w/qAPES3ALtu17v…
Very well made video. I like when Mara narrates actually, it is quite easy to listen/follow. Plus maybe you can focus more on what you film, edit, the story?
Very interesting project. But I was also wondering how do they support the project? How did you guys join them? Did you pay? Did they train all of those other people for free?
There's a need for youth sports coaches, but time and cost make it hard for parents to commit
Some Ontario youth sports coordinators say it can be challenging to find volunteer coaches, who are usually players’ parents, as the summer season approaches. Time, commitment and cost are the most comm...

Just time for a quick look through photos from yesterday’s hike. Had to get out despite the cool winds to get my mind off the building Constitutional Crisis. Was looking for new arrivals of Northern Parula (have been reported) and Blue-grey Gnatcatcher. Was trying to work with a. Blue-grey when this Ruby-crowned Kinglet popped up and started singing and flaring its crest. Had a wonderful time whistling to it and having is sing back in response for about 5 minutes. Eased the day.
Heavy volunteer day today, and down one chainsaw with an oiler problem. The oilers on these battery models are tough to repair - basically take it completely apart, so we may have to use one of the gas models (ick) until we can do surgery (ick).

Found a #volunteer tomato plant in the front yard so I’ve transferred it over to the bed that has the least things in it to see if it likes it there and what kind of #tomato that might be. #gardening
If you don't know what to do for the #resistance , or are terrified of being on a front line bc you could get #yeeted to #elsalvador or an #amerikkkan prison, then make donations to #ACLU #lambdalegal #TransgenderLawCenter a non-profit #immigration rights law center, donate to someone's #go_fund_me to help them with legal fees, and/or #volunteer for an #advocacy center. These forms of resistance and #protest are every bit as important as #holdingtheline

Today is a heavy volunteer work day again. We may, just may be able to finish the first phase of removal of the runaway wisteria infestation this morning. The area was originally a plant nursery for the City, with wisteria, honeysuckle (multiple varieties), privet, euonymus, cedars, red oak, … When the City abandoned the site, they let it go feral. The wisteria expanded to a wild area of ~5 acres(?) so dense you could not walk through there. It killed most of the trees in that block. We have reduced it by manually cutting it back to less than an acre through hard labor. Next phases would involve regular mowing, or other methods the property manager may choose.
Just for a photo, we are seeing spring-like skies lately. An iPhone photo.
