Soaring above me in Jutland, Denmark this a.m. Cornell's @MerlinBirdID ID'd as red kite, but would be fun to know for sure if anyone can tell from these wing patterns? Just a phone photo, womp-womp. (Also have video.) #BirdsSeenIn2024 @Float_photo @Britnatureguide

A5: I've always wanted to take an (in-person) class at King Arthur Baking School in Vermont. It might make a nice leaf-peeping road trip combo! Tried this year, but they were all full months in advance. #travchat (photo credit: King Arthur) @VermontTourism

I am so in love with this adorable promotion from @zillow and @icelandicprov - even put an "offer" on a "house"

Underestimate freelancers at your own peril. Originally, ‘freelance’ referred to a medieval mercenary who would fight for whichever nation or person paid them the most. Those tax forms must’ve been nuts to fill out.

I tried smoked puffin when in #Iceland and have regrets. It was slimy and seemed raw, almost like a jamón. An unexpected texture. Worse? I’d enjoyed seeing them nesting the day before at Dyrhólaey beach. #travchat A2

Good morning from Denmark, where it’s strawberry season! Picked these fresh and they are amazing #travchat

Ever wondered how books get published? Let me break it down for you – from an idea to bookstore shelves, with all the stages and emotions in between. Here's what happens: - Idea - Outlining - Writing - Editing - Book Proposal - Agent/publisher search - Pitching - Contract

No, thanks!

Springtime in Denmark and @mybirdbuddy is quite active with some new-to-me visitors this week, including a Eurasian magpie (right) + a very derpy Eurasian collared dove. (Also pictured: European robin, top left, + common blackbird, top center.) #BirdsSeenIn2023 @Britnatureguide

Who knew? Adding this to the to do list for my Norway visit this summer! @visitnorway

My favorite hometown bookstore is participating in the CT Book Trail Passport Challenge this weekend for #IndieBookstoreDay! As if anyone needs an excuse to buy more books? Download your passport, visit at least 5, and win prizes. @rjjulia

Nationwide, people are collecting, preserving, and sharing seeds to protect the future of food and farming.

Why did the pheasant cross the road? (So I could mark it as #BirdsSeenIn2023 in Denmark for @Britnatureguide)

‘Shortz urged us to relax, and to solve as if we were solving at home’ — @ollie went to the 45th annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament and the results were 🔥

When we went down to the beach this morning we noticed it was covered in what looked like a blue film and when we looked closer, we realised it was hundreds of thousands of the tiniest by-the-wind sailors we have ever seen, many smaller than nurdles and fishing beads. #velella

Shopping lists as artwork? Yes, please. Wish I'd seen this earlier, I'm so intrigued by this project. (Two weeks to check it out, in London!) Turns out, it's not just @LucyIrelandGray who collects them, there's a whole internet archive of lists.

I've never actually noticed this on any flights, but it seems kind of creepy.
