Phenology

I contribute to iNaturalist. You record flora and fauna sightings for your area. It is Citizen Science, and I enjoy it. I haven't contributed many plants to the reporting, and there aren't many plants growing outside today!  

They had a Webinar. Happily, they posted a recording of it online. After Virtual School during COVID lockdowns, non-personal video chats give me the heebee jeebees! We are so happy to chat with the grandies out west. 

"Plant phenology – the timing of plant life-cycle events such as leafing out, flowering, and fruiting"

Of course, things are pretty quiet around here, in terms of both flora and fauna. That said, I did have a fisher return Jan. 12th. Happily in the dark of the night. We were sleeping.

Nutmeg likes sitting in the sun. This is where the squirrels run by. Good exercise for her!

Cinnamon is a bad boy! He's been fishing... 

I had a concept of a plan. Maybe I'll vaccuum.

I had to wait, though, because the guy with the bad back had an afternoon nap. I couldn't disturb that! 

He's using Dr. Ho, Advil, and trying to relax. The 2nd day was worse, but he treated his back gingerly. 

It looks like we are in for a provincial election Feb. 27th, to be called next week. My American friends can empathise. Rumour has it he is calling an election before the release of RCMP reports of nefarious doings around the Greenbelt development he's managed to decimate for his rich friends. There was bribery and corruption.
