(I wear sandals with socks) She seemed to have needed some rest, so I put her on the snapdragon plant right outside of the kitchen door.<br/><br/>Today, just now, she came out of hiding while watering plants again, and looked like she needed some help. So, I placed her in a plastic container with organic apple core and some begonia flowers. At first, she was disoriented, but soon went for the apple. After several minutes, she seemed to have regained some strength. She’s resting under the jasmine leaves now.<br/><br/>It was chilly last night, the temperature went from daytime 35C down to 22C at dawn. PaperWasps love hot weather.<br/><br/>Anyway, if she can fly, I’ll release her outside. But their lives are short. I might let her enjoy the easy retirement living. 🥰💗🐝<br/><br/>#pollinators<br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/115/051/294/514/139/677/original/5710e93cd5ded00e.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/115/051/295/140/077/732/original/036a0470c953bf74.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-08-18T19:18:14Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqzvn6ckkm3ql6y835tc3yqcp6y5sx2r4yj9pzs338fmh5f2gkwcgzyrnxqcrvyd3s24lefarllnrapfryamfz2ghlmdjlppdj4fta0j9ggaz7d4j Rhett🐿️: the usual, please.<br/><br/>#NutShoppe #RhettSquirrel<br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/115/001/682/687/992/071/original/9403bb5b9c4c5985.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-08-10T00:46:01Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsx2szad4xe0u80dgs0aqjuag6mtwut7m045mzjkykgt9ynv9m7x2czyrnxqcrvyd3s24lefarllnrapfryamfz2ghlmdjlppdj4fta0j9ggl4aqpv I put the fallen jasmine flowers in the small cup of water, and they smell wonderful at night.

They thought it was yellow jackets. Highly unlikely.<br/><br/>Yellow jackets are aggressive assholes, and you won’t be able to casually garden around them.<br/><br/>It’s probably paper wasps — shy, docile pollinators.<br/><br/>But these two wasps look very much alike.

He’s been such a wonderful and amazing rattie. He’ll be forever with me in my heart or in my mind. Thank you for cheering for him. He loved you all. 🫶💟💜✨<br/><br/>#MartyMcBean #CompanionRats<br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/113/455/255/400/592/432/original/dd6acd2c5e2fbcef.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-11-09T22:08:52Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqqzemqrmk9nym8tclnfrvwn8ma56yju5v8wh642g9aehp5r2ve5czyrnxqcrvyd3s24lefarllnrapfryamfz2ghlmdjlppdj4fta0j9ggd65pku maybe our civilization is at the beginning of the end, or at its worst before it gets better — either way, it’s up to us to be kind to one another and make the best of it while living.<br/><br/>Natural disasters bring on the wrong sort of leadership amid chaos, because they take advantage of fear that comes from uncertainty.<br/><br/>Pls stay strong and loving, friends. We need each other more than ever. And pls be kind to the nonhuman creatures. They’re at our mercy to be alive. 2024-11-09T18:29:45Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswgsny3kfxjqhlxrgsc8man7gkmry8a9vt2xyhwnfq6h40xk8xmagzyrnxqcrvyd3s24lefarllnrapfryamfz2ghlmdjlppdj4fta0j9gggskac8 Mine! <br/><br/>#EllisSquirrel #acorn #squirrel<br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/113/409/704/264/596/580/original/61855f8256577996.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-11-01T21:02:47Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsv404rjj6ysmfdp6c6khc4v5tdv5up6aasf5svqqlzjx32vp48augzyrnxqcrvyd3s24lefarllnrapfryamfz2ghlmdjlppdj4fta0j9gg2eqqm6 #SilentSunday #sunset #mountain #NH<br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/113/381/989/750/974/666/original/76fbbe57898d110b.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-10-27T23:38:55Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9nwuwukgwu0ms679zcaw84vnn4ugv6c9gghxknhutflwryl0ucmqzyrnxqcrvyd3s24lefarllnrapfryamfz2ghlmdjlppdj4fta0j9ggsqe0k4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxa7sm2ev4wgtah530glndymlgh6jw307pgq640t64t5gdtht472q2en8h5'>nevent1q…n8h5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Well, it’s the spooky season alright. I inadvertently filmed a “horror” clip. 🦅✨👀🫣<br/><br/>The 1st photo is far enough so you don’t really see the prey at the hawk’s feet.<br/>The 2nd one is from the accidental“horror” video. AltText for the details.<br/>The 3rd one is the “#GreenWobblyBit” of the prey left on the ground (likely to reduce the weight of the heavy parcel).<br/><br/>#hawk #birdsOfPrey #prey<br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/113/376/352/607/866/496/original/25d0874965a83df5.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/113/376/352/764/684/047/original/60b4c8832edbe239.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/113/376/352/931/743/004/original/9214cc6dac8ca222.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-10-27T00:15:34Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxa7sm2ev4wgtah530glndymlgh6jw307pgq640t64t5gdtht472qzyrnxqcrvyd3s24lefarllnrapfryamfz2ghlmdjlppdj4fta0j9ggd2m3qh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszmk6letj7ztm0a2ds6txwwk3c3lwu4lld7pv79v7mzude4jd5hxc9uy6zj'>nevent1q…y6zj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I just saw the hawk struggled to take off with a big cottontail, and flew to the wooded park across from the community garden. 2024-10-26T19:58:27Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszmk6letj7ztm0a2ds6txwwk3c3lwu4lld7pv79v7mzude4jd5hxczyrnxqcrvyd3s24lefarllnrapfryamfz2ghlmdjlppdj4fta0j9ggg6wqtx Red Tailed?<br/><br/>‘Twas the biannual Garden Cleanup today 🧹<br/><br/><a href="http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/249206990">http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/249206990</a><br/><br/>#hawk #communityGarden #BirdsOfPrey<br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/113/375/284/006/536/637/original/52e610c9d1b4de13.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/113/375/286/290/315/396/original/cf97fc0330e9a7ae.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/113/375/286/299/374/727/original/15cd39549a3f7a4d.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-10-26T19:30:23Z
