Because the universe has given me a voice and I’m finally ready to use it.... creating a clearer pictured pathway for the world to heal itself = the power of my superhero possibility. #superherolifeskills #chooseyourownadventure #yousuperheroyou #goteamgo #yoursuperheropossibility @MelissaDwnBrwn (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA7KiOOH1zB/?igshid=1mmvti8njcqgf

Finished and hung house 1 (right) this morning... Now I’m tackling house 2 which is a little more complicated. I used all three tools for house 1 but now I’m stuck with 32 apartments left to ‘furnish.’ I’m using smaller gauge (7 & 12) knitting needles for the side units... and sometimes the pre-rolled paper slides right in... a lotta guess work... but it’s for a good cause #beefriendlyjourney #settingthingsup properly #yayme #pleasebeefriendly (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxqhTcFnDvP/?igshid=1rk99j03fwsbs

Spent a glorious Saturday afternoon learning about pollinators— bees that aren’t livestock aka honeybees. Fantastic turnout at the OFNC (ofnc.ca) office @ Fletcher Wildlife Garden (between experimental farm and carleton u). Learned how to identify bees that don’t look like bees— including small carpenter and leaf-miner bees (both look look more like flying ants. ) FYI: Bee houses are cool and trendy (costco). A good place for these solitary lil souls to set up an apartment/nursery/pollen storage... but housekeeping is a bitch... so, they gave us some advice as per engineering an easy cleanup. Roll parchment paper on a dowel/knitting needle/pencil/cat-toy wand and shove that little puppy into the bamboo/drilled hole. FYI: Bees won’t move into a dirty pre-owned apartment... #somethingwehaveincommon #pleasebeefriendly (at Fletcher Wildlife Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxqg88BnosN/?igshid=14jk4w68t5yq5
