Well, prints, at least. I took this last week when it was freezing cold; the snow and birb tracks are gone now but the hungry fevvered freeloaders aren’t. I love my birbs even if they’re little ingrates who thank me for feeding them by dropping poop bombs all over my car.
I don’t remember when I took these, but I’ve been meaning to upload them for ages, just so the last photos of 2017’s was season would be complete. Fat bunglebee on blue mistflower. Fat bunglebee on white aster, and I don’t care if people think they’re weedy flowers. Neither do bees. Psillopsis assassin. Found him […]
Not much going on in the Bistro these days except for my continued career as Aquarius the Water Bearer because it fucking REFUSES to rain. On top of that, it’s been in the 90s for the last week, so I’ve been doing virtually nothing but hauling water, trying to keep the Bistro on life support, […]
My accomplishments over the weekend were very few, but I did finally get the poor Sorghastrum grass out of its pots. I also discovered that the small pot I’d first thought was sea oats and later thought must be Indian grass is, in fact…sideoats. I have absolutely no idea how I managed to put sideoats […]
I didn’t take a lot of photos while I was on vacation, doing jack-shit, but I did make a few friends, and we’ve got some new kids! I might have posted these already, but perhaps not. I watched the female deposit these on the snakeroot (video on YT if I remember to link it). I […]
I took four vacation days, and combined with the long weekend, and the weekend before, I ended up with 10 days of slacking bliss. What did I accomplish? Not a whole lot (though I do have a ZoneMinder server working!). Was it worth it? Oh, yes! Will this have to be multiple posts because some […]
Coincidentally, the title is an apt description of what I’ve been doing lately. 🙂 The Bistro kind of looks past its prime, but there are still flowers, and no shortage of butterflies, bees and MLBs, which is why it exists, so I suppose that’s just fine. Disobedient plant, doing quite well, especially considering how little […]
I didn’t make great accomplishments over the weekend, but I did do a little bit! First thing I did was stop for gas on the way home on Friday, and discover a hitchhiker on my windshield. It was too dangerous for him out there, so I put him on the dash and he was my […]
I’m far behind, but I don’t even care because beginning some time between 0230h and 0330h on Thursday night, it RAINED! Free water came from the sky, and I didn’t have to carry it, or pay for it, or anything! So, without further (god knows there’s already been enough) ado… Big-ass cicada killer. I think […]
Heh. These are so pretty in spite of the fact that we don’t get any rain. Midnight Marvel and native rose mallow. These are all native. Not the same plant, but the same variety and all planted together.
