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.

“From Greenland’s Icy Mountains” 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.

Did some final prep for winter with the terrace plants. Rewarded with a rainbow 🌈.

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

It’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.

Sound track for taking compost to the garbage room: down (9 floors) propulsive “Spooky” by Dusty Springfield. Up (9 floors)Lana del Rey’s plodding “Season of the Witch.”

Terrace report: near view, far view. Frosty.

Better safe than sorry. There was that year I missed out on a panettone.

Double tap. Both arms.

If there is a reaction we’ll know if it was flu or Covid. 🤔
