We didn't have a lot of luck with our pumpkin patch this year, but thrilled to see these little ones hiding under some of the thicker leaves! We can't wait to see how they grow. What a great way to cap off a fun community garden program at our living lab. It's our first time trying pumpkins!

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

We have to test some of the wild clay we harvested a few weeks ago. So the kids made simple pendants to see how the clay dries. Will it warp, crack or split before we pit fire them? Looks great so far! #art #ceramics #fun #recreation #summer
