I saw some dragonfly larvae scooting around in the sad pool and realized they have no sticks to hatch on. Scooped them up, put them in the container pond, yeah it was that. You're welcome, please come again

silly fat striped hotdog (polydamas caterpillar) can eat the invasive pipevine seen here, but his cousin the vantablack hotdog (pipevine caterpillar) can only eat the native pipevine and will die if it tries to eat the invasive one. I gently pet this wormy and left him to his important work

I can't remember what my doctor's name or the name of the practice was because it was eight years ago, and do you know how many goddamn doctors I've had in eight years?? Why don't you jokers find them, since I've already paid you 340$ anyway

I'm gardening obsessively to diffuse my seething rage from having to do endless stupid detective shit just to get some medical paperwork forwarded to a new practice so they can give me medicine. I've already paid them 340$ just to be seen for 15 minutes but sure, I'll waste my time doing your job

completely re-planted this section of yard...to an outside perspective it probably looks basically equivalent to what was there before (every type of mondo grass on earth) but now instead of just looking like a boomer's idea of Tropical it's all local natives and host plants
