Best Of

Enjoyed a fire pit last night with Kim, the dogs, and a glass of sangria. The dogs snuggled under a blanket we shared and were pretty happy. I had sprinkled skunk repellant in the yard earlier in the day in preparation, nothing ruins a backyard experience then your partner getting freaked out by a skunk and going in early. All-in-all it was pretty good, until I stepped in a pile of dog doo and tracked it in the house.

I had picked up the dog dirt before the fire pit, but the dirt don't stop around here.

I didn't know that there was a nest of them in my raspberry patch. Kept getting buzzed until I saw the nest attached to one of the canes. Gave it a 2' clearance and they let me keep picking. They were not aggressive once they knew that I knew and respected their territory. Just like nations.

Well, these guys are building in my territory, so I am going nuclear.

Cut the grass and ran the weed wacker for the first time in three weeks, so it's been that long that I've been on that side of the house, and I almost walked into this while weed wacking.

Nice present for the meter man.

Yeah, maybe I'll leave it for him.

I was actually reaching for the vines to pull them off the wall when I saw it. Mostly black bees with white on the head and abdomen. I'll have to look up what they are, but they don't look friendly.

Look like bald faced hornets to me, and they’re prìcks

Hate them around beehives. They as well as dragonfies do so much harm to a hive.

Unwrapped Baby Ruths.

If Angel Soft was a piñata!
Bet it’s full of Tootsie Rolls and Sonic mints.

Eastern Screech Owl is calling tonight.

Is he softly calling your name? 😜
