Fig tree first crop of the year (breba crop). Planted by our home’s former owner, Angelo, circa 1967; tree went dormant one cold winter and then regenerated in a new spot in our tiny yard and now produces so many figs that we need to give them away/make jam late summer.

Super exciting to run by the European-style on-sidewalk Coles Street bike lane. Let’s get this going on JFK Blvd, for a north-south bike route. The sidewalks are broad enough and there is little foot traffic other than by a certain school. (And yes I know it’s a county road.)

When I survey my MS students on what helps them learn, they say the online district curriculum materials do not: "the wording can trick students' minds," "you can just guess." What helps: book groups, interaction, conferencing. What they want more of: creative projects :) @covingtonedu.bsky.social
