I’m at an actual in person conference today- presenting and sitting at a booth for Antioch University. It’s the fall instructional conference from @neanh.bsky.social A small but might group of educators meeting face to face. It’s absolutely DELIGHTFUL! #EduSky🍎

I’ve had a record number of these in my garden this year plus more bees than I’ve seen in years. Apparently tickseed and blue top vervain (I think that’s what that is?) are their favorites. 🌱

Everything in this vase started its life as a seed 🌱under my grow lights in February, which makes me inappropriately happy. #Garden

I’m one of those 3-books-at once people. Class prep plus two guilty pleasures. :-)

I got to spend the morning with an amazing, creative, curious, reflective interdisciplinary Rivers & Revolutions team at Concord-Carlisle HS. Of course we met in the art room. www.concordcarlisle.org/academics/ri...
