I have my Dad's flight parka from his service in the Army Air Corps in WWII. He'd only wear it to shovel out the driveway in the winter.

Some people urge schools to bring back teaching cursive writing.
Others insist that kids are overburdened in school already and they don't need to use an archaic writing system.
*I* say let's INCENTIVIZE learning cursive and see how fast those kids pick it up.

Both the Herr Doktor Professor and I are down with covid for the first time since 2022. Neighbors tell us that it's rampant right now in schools and workplaces all over Indiana: why aren't we seeing this on the news?

I went into the garden to pick dill for potato salad and these black swallowtail caterpillars beat me to the harvest. Very happy to share with them. 🌿🌱🦋

If you zoom in, you'll see that each half, as well as each inset, has a key. The half-city maps also have scales in both imperial and metric. Hope that helps you.

We also did a smaller project for just the Burke-Gilman. Those 'candid' photos of 'everyday' people on the trail are really me and my coworkers posing for a professional photographer.

I even made sure that the north arrow's tire included a valve. The heron was very difficult to draw. I freehanded it looking at a WA DNR wetlands poster hanging above my workstation.

Lonicera sempervirens, native to the eastern US, glows up beautifully at sunset. I started this plant as a cutting to provide forage for hummingbirds and other pollinators.

I made an impulse purchase of a small Sassafras albidum tree and popped it in across the street. I love its form, its interesting bark, its clusters of tiny flowers in the spring. It's doing well as a street tree and not suckering badly at all. 🌱
