This morning I was out surveying everything, and noticed that the little volunteer chile piquin plant has some peppers on it. That little thing must have sprouted from the compost I put around that new pecan tree. The chickens look happy and have plenty of shade where they can escape from the sun. I put a kiddie pool in there for them to enjoy. And then as I was getting ready to come inside, I got stung in the arm by something. I barely got a glance at it as I knocked it off my arm, then I saw it in a pool of water where I was standing. Then I saw another one flying around, and snapped this pic of it. Is it just a yellowjacket? The sting is still burning my arm, i need to put some comfrey salve on it. So the first pic is the chile piquin, then chickens, then that wasp or whatever it is that stung me. #grownostr #nature #permies #chickens #countrylife
