Good mornin', my lOves!
It's pretty amazing how much being outdoors helps my mood, even after all these years of saying it.
I had a very exciting wildlife day at work. I pulled into my regular parking spot, opened my door, and looked through the window. And what did I see? A bear. A pretty big one from the part of him/her I saw. I yelled out, "Hey bear!" and that didn't faze him whatsoever. I had to beep the car horn to get him to walk off. I drove down to the cabin and heard so many hawks calling overhead. I couldn't see them, but there had to be at least 3 or 4. I needed to grab a few rocks for a little rock garden I made and walked on to the trail-- a deer and three fawns, all spotted and tiny!
My last discovery was super cool but probably not to many of you. LOL I was moving some tree stump "seats" and uncovered a huge- like 2" huge insect larvae. I used iNaturalist to ID it and it was a Pharaoh Cicada larvae. I thought I got a picture of it, but I must not have hit the camera button. I never saw one like that and want to get back and see if it is still there.
I weeded out the front garden area and transplanted some dogbane, milkweed, and black eyed-susies. It's going to need maintenance, so much stilt grass in that area but at least that stuff is easy to rip out.


I also found a little desk in a different cabin, cleaned that up, and added that to the classroom part of the cabin.
Today I need to get my grocery order and then clean my house. It's in pretty bad shape.
This afternoon, I might either work out in the yard, work on Camp prep, or scrap. We'll see!
xoxo
