nostr:npub1ccmqf9y3u9t3nal97g87eagck0g52dhv4xd3m884hfpuuparzzxsx4w7n0 Thanks❣️😆 I’m no entomologist though! Not even close. I’m just an admirer of critters, just like you. 😉💕🐝

nostr:npub1ccmqf9y3u9t3nal97g87eagck0g52dhv4xd3m884hfpuuparzzxsx4w7n0 You’re welcome. I had the same thought as you when I first saw one! Now I notice them everywhere. I’ve even seen them digging a nest to deposit the egg. Interesting bug!! 😘🐝

nostr:npub1ccmqf9y3u9t3nal97g87eagck0g52dhv4xd3m884hfpuuparzzxsx4w7n0 oh yes, please! But pls be careful!!

I think I know which ones you’re talking about. They’re probably great golden digger wasps (they have crazy name, too!). They’re pollinators. And despite of the crazy scary looks, they’re not aggressive, I believe.

Do they look like this one?

(I rescued house rabbits for many years, I painfully understand! 😭😘)

nostr:npub1927pf57ryk293ysy76pdge9kxwxj7m9arg6cjlws9rc5kahk6avsqekwdq That’s great! Smart pup!! 🐶👍

Btw, here’s Joey who used to trim his own nails. 😆❣️🐰💅👀😂

I don’t know where I caught it, but I’ve had a very mild case of throat cold. No sinus congestion, just sore throat. I seem to have zapped it in a few days, taking zinc and oil of oregano, as well as gargling with a little baking soda and a drop of tea tree oil in a glass of water.

Negative result on Covid test.

Anyway, time to order more masks.

Long time no see, EthanSquirrel❣️🐿️✨

One more.

For unknown reason, all the transplanted cucumber and summer squash seedlings died this summer. 😭

And what I thought to be some volunteer summer squash turned out to be imposters that didn’t get any flowers. So, I got rid of them.

Underneath the tangled vine mess, the turnips were doing ok! (right pic)

Then I squee’d to find a summer squash seedling emerging in the other bed, which I literally emptied the entire seed packet into the soil last week. *grateful*🌱

#CommunityGarden

Arghhh! the construction noises coming from both across the street and the condo yard (a neighbor is installing hardwood floors) are driving me nuts!

(sorry for the #rant - but I tend to only post positive stuff and which gives the illusion that my life is too good, and I think I used to be misunderstood on twttr.)

Don’t worry, the garden and my plot offer more than they can eat during the summer. 🌿🍀🐇🐀🐿️

nostr:npub1gdurjln36a2xwkvs2rdrslm7ctnte80jrxp9jvngppz8l7zrhvaqndv6hq I imagine a pastel Chinese dragon is about to bust out of these pretty ripples?! 😂😘🐲🐉

nostr:npub1927pf57ryk293ysy76pdge9kxwxj7m9arg6cjlws9rc5kahk6avsqekwdq oh I hope it went smoothly for everyone.

I had a boy bunny who couldn’t stand it. After I cut his nails once, he trimmed them by himself thereafter. 🐰❣️👍

There are many cottontails, voles, and mice live in the community garden. And we can only tend to the plot once or twice a week. So we grow whatever does well.

I put a high security fence around some okras yesterday. Who knew bunnies love okra leaves?!🌱😋🐰👀😁 we’ll see…

After the first jalapeño was bit into by some unfortunate critter who likely regretted it, no one disturbs them now. 😂🌶️💚

Took home two turnips, and here are the rest of yesterday’s haul. I’m very thankful. 🎃🌶️🫛

AI RoboPets has some bright side: it would relieve the already overworked veterinary. Also would potentially reduce the factory farms, as 20% of fac-far meat is accounted for pet food. Less surrendered animals, too.

But their appearance has to be sufficiently fluffy and cuddly, and not to mention “cute.” lol I’ll stick with #AdoptDontShop 🐹🐶🐰🐨

I can imagine the future Osamu Tezuka has depicted in his animé and manga, where realistic, robotic humans and animals seamlessly exist among people.

AI RoboPets are just the beginning maybe… 🤖
