#Catbird update. Catty-Kay is back in the nest, so hopefully, she will lay some eggs soon. Lots for them to eat after the rain, though they seem to enjoy the grape jelly I left out for the #Orioles. 🍇 🐦

Spent some time at the #CommunityGarden today. Planted some #BlackBeans and #Potatoes, and pulled up some weeds (the flowers should be popping up after all that rain). Had a cool conversation with my neighbor who is a selectboard member and who helped get the garden going again, and told him what a great job he is doing. I mean, #composters, #rainbarrels, making the #CommunityCenter an #EmergencyShelter, supporting #DatacenterMoratoriums and #SmartGrowth. What more could one ask for in a town rep!

News From The Nest
New arrival of a storklet at Kozubszczyzna. That makes four.
Good luck, little one.
Two eggs remain unhatched on this webcam3 nest at the Polish rescue centre.

So, two of the candidates running for our town's selectboard have teamed up. They emphasize #CriticalThinkingSkills , #OpenSpaces , #CommunityGardens , and #ResponsibleGrowth . Guess who is getting my vote! (And one is the selectboard member neighbor who helped start up the #CommunityGarden and getting #Composters and #Rainbarrels for our town).

Well, I discovered where the #Catbirds are nesting -- in the Rhododendron bush in front of the house (I accidentally disturbed the nest and got scolded). When I was inside the house, I peeked at the nest from behind a curtain. No eggs or nestlings yet. But I'll keep my eyes and ears out for baby catbirds, since Catty-Kay and Cat-King-Cole have paired up!

"Gardening for wildlife is probably the easiest way to garden, and is possibly the best thing that you can do for animals. It’s also something that we can all do in our gardens, and if you have one, in our allotments too.
"There’s nothing that beats the sound of #BirdSong, the spectacle of #butterflies and #bees, and the thrill of meeting squirrels and hedgehogs. Between us, we have over a million acres of gardens; these are a rich mixture of #habitats that add up to the largest nature reserve in the country.
"If you can think of your garden as a sunny glade, set amongst the trees of an #UrbanForest, that’s filled with fruits and flowers; with a little encouragement, wildlife will come."

Darn! Event sales have ended! But this looks like a really cool event!
Tools of Craft: #CircularWeaving
Ottawa Tool Library, #Ottawa, ON
Monday, May 25 • 2 PM - 4 PM"Slow down, unwind, and learn the mindful craft of circular weaving. You can take this hobby with you to the deck and the dock this summer!
In this 2 hour beginner weaving workshop, you will learn how to incorporate yarn and textiles in a circular weaving. Carmen will provide all the supplies, you just have to show up! No previous weaving experience is required.
Instead of hand or power tools, you’ll be working with weaving tools — simple, tactile instruments that invite you to slow down and connect with the rhythm of making by hand. You’ll learn a series of fun, approachable techniques to create your own unique woven artwork.
The practice and pleasure of circular weaving is one that invites a calm state of mind. This workshop focuses on the positive mental health benefits of making things by hand and will give people the skills and interest to take this fun project home with them and hopefully keep working on other weaving projects in the months to come."

Gate door progress has been made. Note to self -- don't buy store-brand hardware! The screws kept falling apart! Luckily, I had some old National Hardware screws that were the same size, so I was able to get the hinges on. I still have to trim the chicken wire and staple it onto the door frame. We'll see if that gets done today...

Progress on giant raised garden bed of free woodchips:
The eggshells do seem to help deter slugs but isn’t a 100% solution for the okra.
Cantaloupe isn’t too happy, leaves are getting a little chlorotic. They were seedlings transplanted with extra soil and yesterday was first time fertilizing them with seaweed foliar spray and holly-tone.
Everything else is doing great. All the corn sprouted not sure if it will prosper exclusively in wood chips.

In Australia, over 4 million people have rooftop solar and it provides so much power at peak times of the day, electricity prices go into the negative. So the Solar Sharer program will offer three hours of free electricity during off peak hours.
