We got it too!
Been lucky and no stings in years. Yellow jackets are the usual suspects. A few years ago they started building a nest on the car door frame. Centre post that the back door hinges on. That was a surprise.
Bees are cool. Only sting if threatened. For them it’s a death sentence. All the rest get to keep on stinging.
Nice. We used to get told you could use milkweed. Seems that was a wives tale. I’ll keep that in mind.
Yep. Bald face hornets. That’s the nest we got. It’s also why I’m waiting until we have the right night to deal with them.
Never used it on a spider bite. My Granny taught me that one. It immediately neutralizes the venom and the burning quits fast! We have a lot of spiders here. Thankfully I’ve never been bit.
We turn off the AC if outside is good enough to open windows. Airing out the basement helps with humidity too.
Well, we couldn’t live without the AC here. It runs from mid May through mid October.
I noticed you & your husband were having some health issues, so hopefully the nicer weather will help in your healing!
I just got used to it as a kid. No AC until I was in my 20’s. I still remember huge box fans in windows.
Thanks! The Hubby had back surgery, he’s doing great! I’m doing great too! The cooler weather is for sure a blessing. Our entire area was ready for a break.
I’m for sure enjoying it
YES, bea-U-tiful day!I’m almost afraid to say it out loud. It’s been a beautiful day.
23* in the shade and in the house. Basement is 21-22. AC is off. Chores done. Family is together. Gardening done. Joints rolled. Pizza already made just need to warm up. Haunted Banana bed with Purple Diesel hash passed around and finished. We’re good.

Enjoy the weekend all.
If the pup is 10 weeks how old was it when it was adopted? Couldn’t have been but a couple weeks ago. Sorry to say but that was a bad decision out the gate. Got to feel bad for the pup. They don’t choose to be where they are. I’ll leave it at that.
Willow was a Covid dog. Bought by a 50 year old lady laid off over Covid. Lived with her 80 year old mom. After all the Covid BS died down she got called back to work. Her mom was to old to look after Willow. So after a few weeks of this she started looking for a home to give her too. Family friends heard about it and hooked us up.
Yeah it's bs... Kids say they want dog, say they will be responsible, then i heard her oldest who wanted the dog say "why do I have to walk him again, why is it always me?" It's like that's what responsibility is, not just when it's convenient. Yeah it sucks cause it's not a toy, it's a pup who needs love. They only had for 2 weeks i think and Mom is done. If it were my kids... Fuck i wouldn't be having that shit, i don't agree with giving up when things get tough, not a good example by bailing them out of this. Oldest is 15, she is the one that wanted a dog mom said.
Oh btw i went to go hit that trail off your road the other day .. after i paid the parking fee i found that the trail is completely overgrown, unrideable, unwalkable. Oh well, maybe next year
That the trail in the WMA?
Try Freezeland Rd itself. Lots of Bicyclists peddle by the house all summer long.
4th year in a row! We're at least a couple weeks ahead of Boston here, a couple of hundred miles north makes a big difference
We've had some nice weather since the 1st of July and were in a drought now. Water restrictions all across the province and no burning anywhere.
Wow that sucks! we haven't had much rain but it's supposed to rain this weekend
