Helpful tips and distractions for the week of July 13th

Do you know about the Great Smoky Mountains synchronous fireflies? I didn’t either, but they are kind of amazing.  Follow the link for some fascinating info on fireflies and a beautiful, relaxing video of the synchronous fireflies doing their thing. 

Looking for things to do with your children this summer? Check out this resource from edweek.org. 

If you have a budding writer in your life, check out “Stories we write together” from Once Upon A Pancake. (Fair warning, this one is not free but looks like an interesting project.)

UMaine Cooperative Extension is hosting an online presentation on food preservation Friday, July 24th. If you’ve built or expanded a garden this year, this could be a good way to enjoy the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor long into the winter.
