Ugh, it’s one of those nights. I let the dog outside for 5 minutes and he comes back having rolled in shit. He smells awful and he thought it was a game to try and catch. I finally caught after he rolled on the carpet and my clean bed. Now to bath the smelly beast and laundry.

Spent the day out in the bush lot ignoring the world and participating in the most Canadian of activities. We were boiling down maple sap to maple syrup.

Timeline cleanse, here are a few pictures of my rescue pup Hickory. He has become a Velcro dog but he is the best as long as you share whatever you are eating.

Today was the day I fell into another research hole and I just love the use of language to paint a picture of the fears of people and industrialists of the past. I wrote out the quote in the alternate text for the image.

So it’s started and it’s the first day of holiday programs at the museum and I am all dressed up in my depressing costume with no makeup in bad lighting. However the kids are having a blast making candles and making ornaments.
