Sometimes, I get to just walk around.

Just a few more pictures of the weekend

My weekend

Stupid fucking bird. Made a nest and laid an egg in my upside-down tomato planter. Idk how many times I've watered it. Hope that junco hatches wearing an umbrella.

Most of my bees are Osmia cornifrons.

Let’s start #WorldBeeDay with the most important meme about the disparity between bee conservation efforts. Nearly all bee conservation efforts represent honeybees, a managed agricultural product easy to identify. Fortunately, bumblebees are getting some conservation love nowadays.

There are still a couple of #masonbees around, but their life cycle is ending and I have no more nesting material. All filled up. Something is creatively eating my overflow tubes tho.

My view rn

Watching the "boys" come together is making my heart full.

Coffee is a soup.

When my dad died I got 100 offers to buy "his" property even though my mom is still alive and was living there and I never had any ownership. Now my kids are getting offers to buy our property even though my wife and I are both still alive and they don't have any ownership.

My son and I got out yesterday so he could kick my ass on the lake. Pretty good day.

Almost full. #masonbees

First fish of the year. #fishing

Tis the season to mow...carefully

Why does it seem like time is flying by, but each day feels eternal? I wake up each day wondering what fresh hell awaits.

Apple blossoms. I may get fruit on my new Honeycrisp.

This pear tree is slow motion falling over. #Garden_Walk

There is an eagle just right of center that has been eyeballing my dogs.

Got a video call from my grandson and SIL from the side of the mountain. Technology is wild.

Our camp. Sam flushed a grouse before the trailer was unhooked.

Pit stop in Pateros

On the road.

Could this Spotted Towee really be the thief?

Something is still getting in here and digging things up.

Then there is this batch of knuckleheads.

The last batch of cocoons are hatching and they are going to have to look further out for nesting opportunities. #masonbees

I would really like to take the new camper up to the property, but I just can't seem to get my ducks in a row. What do I actually NEED to be ready? I think all I need is food. That and a tank full of $7/gal diesel for the truck.

Today's #Garden_Walk

@gardenshour.bsky.social here in Washington state, USA, your #gardenshour is while I'm at work, but here are some #masonbees from my garden.

So many #masonbees. First filled tube today. I saw 5 so far. There are still more bees coming out of hibernation. The females are so desperate for nesting holes that I was a little afraid for my ears and nostrils.

I had such a "good" year last year for #masonbees that now have > a thousand extra cocoons. No point in keeping them in hibernation so outside they go. They can survive fine in the wild. There is not going to be an unpollinated flower for miles.

Get Down. Check in with this new video from The World Is to Dig www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1h0...

Outside sucks today, but inside has a fresh flush of #mushrooms and limited success with snail style seedlings.

Me: good morning My allergies: yeah about that

Tonight, I feel like celebrating. #whiskey

Tomorrow I'm buying a Big, Unwieldy Travel Trailer and I can not lie.

Thats here. That’s home. That’s us. From Artemis II

Nothing says sexy like mouth breathing your way through allergy season.
