Haven’t fallen off the face of the planet - we’re still in #AlgonquinPark, enjoying our time away from… *everything*.
Also celebrated thirty years of @TAV and I being a couple yesterday. There was ice cream and rain, as there should be. 🧡

https://blog.ontarioparks.ca/boot-brush-stations/ this is great! We haven’t come across the boot brushes yet, but next trip we will bring our own if none are on the trails we use.

We have safely made it to #AlgonquinPark and got ourselves all set up.
Pulled out my laptop, did a pass through email, and then had an idea and wrote 20 *very good* lines of code for a project … and then closed it once it was out of my head.
Time for a book …

Wednesday #Workout:
30 minutes of strength training.
33.2 KM of #Cycling (light rain, 18°C, 93% humidity, and 9 KM/H wind).Good workout and a good ride in the rain. Hypothetical last day of work before we run into the forests of #AlgonquinPark for a week.
And yet, email continues … <turns on vacation responder>

Happy to report that I finished this book this morning and it was a wonderful to read that someone else can find wonder at the world anywhere their gaze falls like I do. Timing was good too; just days before our next #AlgonquinPark adventure starts.
Also: slime moulds. #books

#A2A - Connecting lands and people across the #Algonquin to #Adirondacks region
"For a resilient, ecologically connected #A2ARegion that sustains a full range of native #wildlife and enhances people’s quality of life for generations to come.
The time to reconnect is now.
Nature cannot survive on isolated islands. Between #AlgonquinPark and the Adirondacks, a crisis of fragmentation is unfolding.
Roads, development, and borders have severed ancient migratory pathways, trapping wildlife in habitat pockets too small to sustain genetic diversity, find food, or adapt to a rapidly changing climate. When we isolate nature, we weaken the very systems that sustain us.
The A2A region is a continental lifeline. As one of the last remaining large-scale, #IntactForest and #wetland linkages in #EasternNorthAmerica, this corridor represents our best opportunity to ensure wildlife can move north–south across the #GreatLakes – #SaintLawrence system.
Our mission is to heal and reconnect these landscapes. We must repair these broken links to restore the interconnected web of biodiversity that sustains the health of our region and the resilience of the entire continent."

#CommunityGardens in #Ontario Parks That Welcome Everyone
by Andrew Boyd, March 22, 2026
"Picture a garden where pathways welcome #wheelchairs and #walkers with smooth, wide surfaces. Where raised beds bring vibrant tomatoes and fragrant herbs to comfortable heights for everyone. Where sensory experiences of soil, sunshine, and growing things aren’t limited by mobility or ability. That’s the promise of #accessible community gardens in #OntarioParks.
"These thoughtfully designed spaces transform traditional gardening into an inclusive activity where families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities can dig, plant, and harvest side by side. You’ll find gardens with wheelchair-accessible raised beds at shoulder height, tactile plant markers in braille, and gently graded paths that eliminate barriers between you and nature’s therapeutic benefits.
"Ontario’s accessible community gardens aren’t just about physical access—they’re about belonging. They’re neighborhood gathering spots where retired teachers share #composting wisdom with young families, where #AdaptiveTools make planting possible for arthritic hands, and where the simple joy of watching seedlings sprout creates connections across generations and abilities."
"Whether you’re seeking a peaceful outdoor activity, looking to grow your own fresh vegetables, or searching for meaningful community connection, these gardens offer something remarkable: green spaces designed with everyone in mind. From Toronto’s urban plots to gardens nestled in smaller communities, accessible gardening opportunities are blooming across the province, waiting for you to join in. The soil doesn’t judge, and neither do these welcoming spaces—they simply invite you to grow."
