A lot was happening to post or boost this week, with so many flowers and bits of nature catching my eye.

Broken Social Scene’s You Forgot It In People was an important album for me and hearing this tribute to it with fresh takes on all the tracks is so wonderful.

This week’s episode of Lore Legends covers stories from here in Halifax. It gets some things wrong, but it was fun to hear these weird events retold.

Sunday I took Celestine to walk the Frog Pond trail. She had been asking to go for weeks and, though we didn’t find frogs, she was thrilled to see ducks, squirrels, and a salamander.

This week my daily roll and write game was Waypoints, a very fun game that simulates hikes through parks. I’ll definitely be returning to play through more maps soon.

A morning walk took us past lupines, dianthus, lilacs, weigela, and countless other flowers around the neighborhood.

In the afternoon I took Celestine to Point Pleasant Park, where we stopped at Prince of Wales Tower.

While at Point Pleasant Park, we flipped over some rocks to look for salamanders and bugs. The first rock we looked under hid a small northern ringneck snake.
