Strange mushrooms stipe! Not sure of the ID on this one - maybe Leucoagaricus leucothites? #fungi #wildmushrooms
Fully white mushroom with gills. The stipe grew with a hole split in the middle.

Dark Eye’d Junco decided to build her nest right in the MIDDLE of the most walked through area of our yard in a pile of sticks I had left over from a project.
Three dark eye’d junco eggs in the middle of a small nest made of grass hidden among the twigs.

This is some kind of nonsense where I notice the first dandelions blooming in the morning and tonight it’s all covered in an inch of snow. #northerngardening #gardening

What!? Apparently one of the adaptations that queen bumblebees use to survive flooding during winter diapause is slowing their metabolisms so much they can respire UNDERWATER for up to a WEEK. They also accompany aquatic respiration with anaerobic metabolism. I'm stunned. What superstars! #虫 🧪🌎

Queen bees survive winter by their ability to breathe underwater
Queen bees can breathe underwater, allowing them to stay alive over winter as melting snow floods their burrows.

I started keeping fish so that my plants would be healthier. I keep my fish healthier by using the plants to remove nitrates from the water… a good cycle! #airplants #gardening #aquarium

If the #garden harvests have not been plentiful at least they’ve been consistent. Here’s my daily little handful from the struggling plants in the greenhouse. Each year I learn a little more about what works where. This year I really struggled keeping the greenhouse plants watered. #gardening
A handful of colourful peppers and small tomatoes from the greenhouse.

Sorrel seeds are so pretty! I added these as filler to a market bouquet I bought. 😍
Little pink and green sorrel seeds - they look sort of like little bits of confetti attached to the branch.

If you start telling me that 1/30ish kids are autistic is concerning, I’m going to look at you confused because that’s about 1 kid per classroom and that seems pretty accurate to me. Also autistic people are a gift whether they fit into a capitalistic society or not.

Still too cold for anything much to grow outside (although I do finally see signs of life from the perennials) so I am very grateful to this tray of pea shoots I started under lights along with the seedlings. #gardening #vegetablegardening

I have been so sick this winter, but this week I’ve been to ballet class twice and today I actually managed a singing lesson and my teacher is encouraging me to get practicing instead of continuing to rest and spring is (mostly) here…. And just…. Things are looking up.

My youngest was telling me the story she wrote about “How the Fossil Dinosaurs Came to Life”. It began: “One time in the Ancient Tech Lab in the 90’s, there was a scientist named Borafik…”

Hey, do me a favor and stop throwing old tires into the ravine? Tires are responsible for urban runoff mortality syndrome in trout and salmon, which is especially acute for coho salmon. The only iNat observation of coho salmon in the ravine behind the nursery, for example, died before spawning.
A bunch of old tires piled on mulch.

First day of spring break brought with it my first day of no commitments in a LONG while. Positives - I barely looked at my phone! Because…. I got a new Pokémon game and played it almost all day! 🤭 My lungs are still recovering from illness so… I’m not even embarrassed about it.
