This weekend I: - explored a pond/future campground that recently opened to the public under new ownership - foraged milkweed at the family Christmas tree farm (flowers for a shrub, pods to blanch and sauté for dinner) - made some minor improvements to the community calendar I maintain

Love “Year in Review” and “Predictions for Next Year” season! Reply with your favorites in this vein.

If you’re bored enough later today, I’m going to begin fermenting some cacao. 5-7 days of pictures that will not change, obscure temperature and microbial data, and bad jokes lie ahead. Get psyched.

Sometimes feel like I’m in a fairy tale. Walked by my window and there’s a baby deer and a chipmunk and a white butterfly flittering by. Yesterday there were at least 7 northern flickers harvesting worms from my yard.
