Unfortunately my school doesn't have a subscription. But I'll look into, thanks.

Can anyone recommend a picture book or read aloud about plagiarism or copying? Or taking credit for something you didn't do? 📚

Front bed still going strong on the last day of September. Some plants are a bit weathered, but still lots of blooms and bees.🌱🐝

A rock lined flowers bed with low growing blue plumbago spilling over the rocks. Multi colored zinnias, cosmos, bee balm, asters and canna lilies tower above the low growing plants.

🧵 A couple of years ago I was interviewed by @thetyee.ca for a story about the legacy of the Sisters of St Ann. I was encountering resistance to identifying their convent in Victoria as a residential school… thetyee.ca/News/2022/07...

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Your library looks very inviting. I'm always surprised to notice books that I don't have! Will have to look up some of your displayed titles.

I'm not 100% sure that it's Hyssop as there is only 1 stem and I didn't want to cut it to check. If stem is square shaped, then yes, in mint family. The leaves have a heavenly licorice scent.

Was cleaning up a flower bed this afternoon and came upon a little surprise! Found this little flowering plant, and upon investigation, it seems to be an agastache! Perhaps a gift from birds? 🌱
