It's amazing how something as small as a new bridge really changes the way things look.

Can't get enough of all my current blooms. Bees are loving it, too! So much bee activity the past few days.

My favorite beetles are back. Swamp Milkweed Leaf Beetles. They can be a pain with how much milkweed they eat, but they look awesome!

Wrens are on the fence all day now that they've moved in to the box on the fence. Been two or three years since Wrens have occupied it.

There is always, always something to 'do' when you have a house & yard/garden, but if we don't take time to stop & enjoy what we have created... what's the point? Sometimes you have to actually schedule time during the day to do nothing at all - well, except maybe stop & smell the flowers. ;)
After hiking 5 miles minimum. every day the last week in the hightention lines . No roads walking through crops up to my elbows. or bushwackung through the brush thats 10 feet tall all rolled into one a Marchetti barely touches it . well aftwer 6 days of it in a row RnR is not a wish its a you have no choice.

What a difference a month makes. I named my pond "Corona Lake" because it has been my "while working from home project" to keep me sane. Everything is doing great and I am so happy I used a bog instead of a plastic filter. I can count pebbles on the bottom, 3' down and I dont add any chemicals. I hit it once with beneficial bacteria at the beginning of May and that was it. Over 20 fish all look healthy and happy.

Nice pond and property and wow a pyramid or an ark or are you joking?
I wish I was. Lol. My sales territory for work is from VA to ME, Covid Central. Just waiting for everything to open back up. A lot of companies are just bringing people back.
