settling down to read @roopikarisam’s new book

Pressed a literal tonne of apples. Now, I have a taste of our oaked aged cider, in 30 yr old rum barrels

Class development going well, why do you ask?

Eastern Ontario by train. So much swamp.

Montreal, waiting for the show to start. Kid playing jazz festival!

The production room in our #cider mill. I need a new belt press. Can I sell you the naming rights?

Weird to see my childhood home for sale, online. First time I've seen inside it in forty years. It was twee-ified at some point, clearly. I remember carpets. Anywhere, that chair stands where our c-64 was stationed. That's the ur-spot for what became a career in #dh!

The Ottawa looking up river towards the museum of civilization (now the museum of lesser horizons, erm, Canadian history)

Did I show you this? Orchard is finally in bloom.

Doug the woderdog looking serene despite contemplating this betrayal of a visit to the vet

Full bloom!

At the market, first of the season. Neighboring stall is encroaching on our space, breach of etiquette!

B(l)oom there it is!

#bloomwatch apple tree

Blooms a comin'!

SideWheeler oaked cider at Coronation Hall

Campus and canal

our family's #cider mill opens for the season next weekend! (well, we're actually open now, but we're making a fuss next weekend). C'mon by if you want to see me in my aspect as cider maker and agritourism booster. #ottawa

Trying to capture the magic of what I can see through the TiltFive holographic system. 3d model of a historic gravestone.
