It's cold & wet out there. Read this. It's important. Made for @privateeyenews.bsky.social 10 years ago & shared every winter.

My daughter went to a homeschooling program at the local museum and apparently did some archeology... 😂😂😂 #Kidsarcheology #learning #homeschooling #museums

We rescued a bearded dragon today and named him Pancake.

Drawing I did of Viola tripartita and Andrena violae

Working on a simulated archeology box for work and realized I left half my "artifacts" at home... 🤦‍♀️
