Taking it easy this Sunday morning. A fearless chipmunk was quite comfortable with getting his picture taken on our morning walk.
I usually lead with my best photos even it doesn't work well with the story line lol and this photo is great 🙂 this is a tiny grey tree frog. He is maybe one inch long. For scale check out the green bean behind him in the photo!
Back to easy Sunday morning, I usually start the day with coffee. This little coffee bar was in our house when we bought it (honestly probably a liquor bar but works nice for coffee). I'm drinking some french roast Pete's right now from a cheap Mr. Coffee. With the heavy mineral content in our well water, coffee makers don't last too long 🙁 Even with an occasion cleaning cycle with vinegar and water.
Sometimes I have tea. I've been drinking a mix of green tea and hibiscus which supposedly have some health benefits. But I usually have it cold in the afternoon. And this started out as a post about Sunday morning...
So after or sometimes with coffee, I slip on some boots and head out to check on things. Boots are nice for many reasons, getting through the swamp, heavy dew, ticks, plus slip on easily 😉
I post often about the garden and flowers and fruit trees so I'll cut to the bad news of the day. Yellow jackets 😅 I've used old logs to build some of my beds and yellow jackets log them. I stood an watched a steady stream of yellow jackets enter and leave the space under this log. As long as you know where the nest is and don't disturb them they usually aren't a problem. There was a nest in this same place last year until a skunk dug it out one night. I need to look up that skunk and invite it back.
I brought in some flowers and put them in the kitchen which we don't do very often. Hope you had a good weekend.
