Today I was invited at the last minute to do a 15 min presentation to the Bridesville Women's Institute during their lunch. I did a talk pitching that doing 10 minutes of citizen science a day is good for your mind, body and soul. Lovely group of women!

I am grateful for the beautiful little pears given to me by my neighbour. I am making ginger cardamom pear butter with them today. Grating the pears and stirring the bubbling pot is a sweet, soulful meditation. What are your favourite pear recipes?

There's a cool bioblitz umbrella project on iNaturalist.org called Blitzing the Gap. One of the projects is "More than the Monarch"--finding less charismatic Lepidoptera observations. Join in the fun! www.inaturalist.org/projects/bli...

What the heck is phenology? Every bee wants to know when their favourite flowers are blooming. You can learn to track bee food and share the info with farmers and gardeners who plant flowers for bees, butterflies and birds. Check out my blog for more information. #bees
