We have 1 sugar maple tree on our playground, fundraised and planted by students in 2001ish. They told their teacher "we want the future Schoolhouse students to have maple syrup!" Their teacher laughed. 20 years later...

Thanks GMT for safely running today so we could keep our playdate across town!

The middle schoolers found a box, so they turned it into a ball pit. Happiness ensued. They also asked the question, "why is it called a BALL pit, instead of a BALLS pit?"

2 of my former frisbee players came up to me on the street today to thank me for giving them experiences to become besties and roommates ❤️❤️❤️

I spent so many hours at the creek behind my neighborhood growing up... So happy to share that joy with the K-1 class today ❤️

We went to our "secret" spot to pick ramps, but they weren't up yet. All I could find was this small patch, which I obviously left. Per the Honorable Harvest, "don't pick the first. Don't pick the last." See you in a few weeks

One of my 8th graders wanted to drive our activity bus before he graduated...so we built him a bus to drive ❤️🚍❤️

This is how the cats played in my basement's drop ceiling. Unfortunately it wasn't as sturdy as this so occasionally a tile and cat would fall in. (Cat always walked away like he meant to do that)

It's cat splooting season again

This made me lol (and grumble) @ the south end connector today

6000 miles in the ebike, which means I'm averaging about 1500 miles/year now. Most of those miles are also on the trailer, but now we've switched to a tagalong!

I slept in this morning til 9am and wrote this song: It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday Regular crowd (of cats) shuffles in There's an old man sleeping next to me "Meow are you gonna feed us, or him?"

Happy 70th Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 36 senators and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

I thought Mike would grow out of the cardboard-chewing phase of kittenhood, but here we are 3 years later

Mr Biden, I need you to stand up, straighten your back and make some things shake before your departure xoxo the women in america 💙
