  Made a fancy tart with the terrible plums. Which first involved making jam out of the terrible plums. The jam is not even terrible, I’m just not a jam person. Colour is amazing. Edit: alt text added #garden #terribleplums #baking #cake

  Had a meeting that was shorter than anticipated, so I ran out and harvested the saskatoons. Not bad for my three very young bushes…

  One of my students refers to me in her thesis draft as "supervisor and provider of data" which makes me feel like the sage in a fantasy novel. I am The Provider Of Data!!! #academia #linguistics

  @jfmezei@cosocial.ca @NunavutBirder@mas.to they are really well adapted to the cold: not only massive fluff for insulation, but also large body size to reduce heat loss through surface area. You can see that in the picture of the hare with its tiny ears (tiny for a hare, anyway)

  When my son was very small, he misunderstood my excited squeal of “rhubarb!” He was very disappointed when I showed him the “rhubot”. Today, I can squeal “rhubot!” #rhubarb #spring
