POOP! Starring Micah
Auburn, NH
.
Seen variously as smiley, constipated, and diarrhea. .
When I asked @shawmel80 whether I might visit her sister, she didn’t warn me about Micah - WHO LOVES POOP! It was a match made in the Crapper. .

Le POOP Project á Montréal!
City of dreams. City of poutines. .
1. Such a heart full three days in Montreal visiting my dear friend Ayelet and her family! Going round: the POOP Mobile in their neighborhood; Ayelet’s friend and I climb the eponymous mount-royal, we almost die getting back down; Calder exhibit at @mbam ; @ayeletrose making the music only she can - new album coming soon! ; a view from downtown Montreal at night. .
2. ❤️ Ayelet, Yasmin and I ❤️
.
3. Love this clear toilet signage in downtown Montreal - though I prefer the non-gendered 🚽. And then! The self-cleaning toilet! The kids using it clearly felt it was an adventure. .
4. Ayelet and Yasmin choose a @the_pstyle !
.
5. There’s a lot of potty positive talk in this house, and lots of toilets for little bodies potty training. Afterward, there’s the Asher Yatzar, a traditional Jewish blessing of mindfulness and gratitude of the body’s openings and closings. 👄🍑🙏🏻
.
6. Performing selections from Innie / Outie for the preschool Ayelet’s kids attend. Then we looked at worm castings, fossilized dinosaur poop, and fertilizer made from municipal poop from people just like you! BONUS: fresh locally made paczki, a Polish jelly donut!! New motto: Will 💩🎭 for 🍩
.
7. Poutine! Vegetarian, and DELICIOUS. Thanks for the encouragement @veroniqueory Well worth it!

Everybody has a toilet story...
White River Junction, VT
.
1. Sometimes we have to lock the loo roll up for its own security. .
2. Stephanie and I used to share an office in New York. But in the last few years, she’s relocated to a place where you can snowshoe before work. #trafficsucks right?
(I know @mayahiggins13 thinks so. Check out her commute!)

Did you know that urine is fertilizer? In fact, your pee could grow enough wheat to bake a loaf of bread - every day! .
In Brattleboro VT, the Rich Earth Institute organizes hundreds of community members to collect and donate their urine. That saves tons of water from not flushing, and prevents all the nitrogen, phosphorous and pharmaceuticals that comes out in our pee from getting into our waterways. .
All that liquid gold is then spread on fields and the crops studied. Eventually, the food we eat could be fertilized with pee instead of chemical fertilizers! #closedloop
.
1. Become a @richearthinstitute donor! Get a sticker.
2. Vintage urine collection jar.
3. Carrots fertilized with pee. Each carrot has been washed, measured and weighed. #science
4. Tinkle, tinkle little corn...

Thank you Kelly for a maple sweet stay at Aberdeen Farm!
.
1. @kellywieman and I with a bottle of that world famous Aberdeen maple syrup! Kelly also taught me a lot about training horses, life in small town Montana, and showing grace. .
2. Maple taps snaking their way through the trees. The sap starts to flow during spring thaw, when temperatures are around 40 degrees in the day, and below freezing at night.
.
3. The evaporator, one of the key tools inside the “sugar shack.” There, they’ll boil the maple sap down - a LOT. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. 😮
.
4. A view of the lake. My first refuge spot, the folks at Aberdeen continue to teach me a lot about generosity, and the richness of space. .
