Caturday is in full swing.

It was hard getting everyone in one shot. πŸ“Έ

Wouldn't it be funny if we all worked together to tank the Amazon stock price and cut his $5 billion down a notch or two? Kinda like these assholes are doing to our retirement accounts now.

I bought a package of beetle jails to try and intercept the few small hive beetles I have running around in my hives. The bees seem to be managing them well on their own but the jails will give them somewhere to chase them in to. As a new beekeeper it really bugs me having well, extra bugs in my hives. Apparently it's almost unavoidable so I'm trying to keep my OCD in check.

I'm using banana peels soaked in apple cider vinegar as bait. The beetles like funk.

Good morning! Our planting marathon continues. Today it's vegetables, tomorrow the native perennials I pre-ordered weeks ago.

The rain predicted for tomorrow is now set for Sunday. That will give me time to get everything in the ground. The rule of thumb around here is to plant after the first week of May. Since there is no upcoming danger of frost and our seedlings are begging to be planted, we're taking the risk. If the mid-Atlantic coast gets snow next week, I'm to blame. πŸ˜„

I use this company's cameras outside. They are (or were) inexpensive, easy to use and weather resistant. Luckily I bought several for $9 last Black Friday season.

Wyze posted their receipt on Twitter. I'm not saying go there but at least they have a spine, unlike Jeff Bezos, and are publicly displaying the results of these "taxes" on our products.

A racoon took advantage of the tree I cut down to avoid a muddy puddle.

This AI is getting more fun every day. Here is Pixie, our fawn red bullypit mix, wearing a black homburg hat and smoking a big cigar. I put the before and after. The color adjustments were not requested but aren't unwelcome. I've seen worse saturation added a phones camera trying to compensate.

It blurred the background a bit too. Still a work in progress...

#today I'm hoping to do a live stream. As always it depends on how I feel.

On the 20th this month I turn 56. Damn I'm getting old. Not too old though. I might still have some surprises inside this old skin suit. (eww that sounded gross)

I'm also going to start work on a new post for my blog. I have an idea as to what I want to say, but I need to work it out first.

What are YOU going to do today?

Good morning! Garden prep continues today after a quick grocery run. I'm happy to have nowhere else to go today after two days of being sociable. I'm a homebody and confirmed introvert so I'm relishing the quiet day.

The month of May has finally arrived! One of my favorite things is listening to the birds calling to each other. The wood thrushes + summer tanagers are back. The reminder that nature's cycles can still be counted on is comforting.

Enjoy your day!
