Oh shit. Sorry about that.

Meh this pattern. Shrinky Dinks rule.

Xmas Lights!

Thank you as always @Ellinwood. Your maps are seriously one of the very few I share with friends and fam. Apprec!

@mappy awesome holiday cheer. I’m jelly. Gotta up my game. Absolutely gorgeous. @losetoa6 thank you again. Couldn’t have pulled this off without ya.

Seriously dude, seek help.

It’s addictive. Stop now. Tom has found his outdoor home. Again, ty!

Niiice, that was good too. Completely off topic of horrible flicks, major props to @losetoa6 today. Helped me out big time with Operation Deer. Def rec his services. Pic of Tom the Turkey to follow once these winds die down.

Easily done. Top ten movie/soundtrack in my book. They don’t make ‘em like they used to.

Not so sure about that last sentence...

I’m about to snort sum ketchup. It’s that bad.

Fall allergies blow.

Thx! I selfishly miss ‘em though, truth be told. When Hay left last year, I made dinner a few nights later and grabbed one too many plates to serve the grub unconsciously thinking she was still around. And after Ri left last Sat, went to make a sammy the other day and realized my hot sauce companion was gone. The little things. At least I have tonight’s storms to look forward to. Oh, wait...

That is awesome @IronTy. I want. Thanks for posting that! Horrible year so far here. Cats are being decimated by tachs. Released eight and lost five as of today. Not good odds.

Digging the pumpkin ‘experiment’ @LP08. Many years ago, as two kids in this pic are now in college, noticed a cucurbita in my flower bed while mulching in the spring. Left it just to see what would happen. Tot worth it:

That’s awesome re the butterflies @mappy, @BlizzardNole, and @WxUSAF. Finally saw my first late yday. And two more today.

That’s awesome. Thought I saw one the other day while watching through the kitchen window in front of my functioning dishwasher. Alas, it was only a swallowtail. But my dishes were washed!

Four in chrys, with another four cats frassing like crazy on the porch right now. Still haven’t seen an adult yet, lol.

Ty, @BlizzardNole. That’s awesome. Apprec. I'm going into year four with this hobby and having a blast. Raised and released sixty five monarchs last year. And one black swallow. (Midlife crisis ftw.) Been a strange season so far like others have echoed. Lightning bugs were way late, and few, compared to previous. Only seen three yellow swallows in the wild and no black swallows except for the ones that over wintered on my porch. Way fun to go from Aug of last year to this Spring and have twenty of ‘em emerge. Still haven’t seen a monarch this season as well. But did find these four cats today on my milkweed.

That’s good for your plants. Jelly.

Good stuff @BlizzardNole. Impressed. Looks like a 4 or 5 instar on the first pic of this page. How long you been at this, if ya don’t mind? This is my license plate btw.

That’s awesome. Would love to see ‘em, ty. This pic is kinda funny, imo. Wild flower seeds I spread years ago are finally thriving where I usually mulch. Waiting on a letter from the HOA...

@poolz1 That bed is redic cool. Never heard about that. Thanks for sharing!

Sweeet @mappy, send a pic if ya can. Been busy with work, yuck, and only been able to mulch my main habitat. Gonna plant seedlings tomorrow, but will still be a bit before they flower. Need to make a run to the local nursery as well. Did release Swallow #13 for the season today though. (And #14 right after.) P sure this one was a male. Waaay different markings:
