So I'm getting ready to leave for vacation in the AM when I remember that I wanted to apply weed killer in the #backyard . I put on long pants, long sleeves, rubber boots - soon sweating bullets - and start my task as it's getting dark, spraying each offending weed individually. Soon I'm swarmed by mosquitoes but I power through. Just as I finish, I feel a drop, then another, then it's a cloudburst lasting all of a minute. Guess who'll be up at 5 to respray? #F-me #HomeOwnership
Holunderblüten auf Eis. Mehr Sommer braucht es nicht.

So my dog got stung by a bee and I took this cool picture while trying to figure out what kind it was. #backyard #nature #gardening

Our little backyard wilderness. Insects of all kinds love it. Last year after mowing it after the summer, it was full of snall grasshoppers. Occasionally even a hare visits, even though we are at least 1km from the edge of town.

I sowed wildflowers in every bare patch of garden this year. The others are finally coming in as well, but this small patch is way ahead of the rest for some reason. The bees are very happy (and so am I) 😄

Baby Deer 🦌

We've seen these deer a couple times in the neighborhood but mom is very protective! She's lead them away too quickly for to get my camera including this day. As we watched them walk far away into a field, a noise spooked them and ran back near us. These photos were taken as my wife was throwing apple slices to them from our deck while I sat on the grass below. I think we gained some trust!

Apple slices did seem to be a challenge for the little ones, in the last photo you can see a slice falling from its mouth to the ground lol
