Do not be fooled
Do not be deceived, hoodwinked or bamboozled by those sweet innocent eyes.
She's intrusive and has little to no understanding of personal space.
She will steal everything in her reach and destroy to get what's not easily accessible.
Oh, and the smell...
I'm not sure how she can detect any other scent over her own.
Somehow she's still loveable and the sweetest pup. ❤️

I found a panther lurking by the chicken coops.

Remember those mystery peppers I bought that were definitely not what the tags said? 🌶️😂
Well… 14 cups later and these three jars are all that’s left 😭
At least the flavor is a perfect sweet + spicy combo 🔥
Mislabeled peppers for the win!

🌶️ Guess That Pepper Jelly! 🌶️

Today’s kitchen adventure comes with a little mystery…
We bought pepper plants earlier this year that were clearly mislabeled 😅

I think the lineup goes like this:
👉 Left: Banana pepper
👉 Middle: Anaheim (thanks Google!)
👉 Right: Jalapeño — the only one that wasn’t pretending to be something else 😂

But hey — mystery peppers make the most exciting pepper jelly, right?
You’ll just have to taste to find out! 😉

Do you make pepper jelly?

Hey bee friends! 🐝
Did you know that drone bees (the males) often drift between hives?

Unlike worker bees, drones don’t have chores — no foraging, guarding, or brood care. Their main mission is simple: to mate with a queen. Because of that, they’re not as loyal to one specific hive and tend to wander from one to another.

They also don’t memorize landmarks or scents as well as worker bees, so it’s easy for them to end up in a neighbor’s hive. Most colonies don’t mind a visiting drone or two since drones don’t steal resources — they just eat, rest, and wait for their big moment.

But when fall approaches and food gets scarce, the story changes. Worker bees kick the drones out to save supplies for winter. It’s nature’s way of keeping the colony strong through the cold months ahead.

💛 Just another fascinating glimpse into the complex world of bees!

Hey bee friends! 🐝
Ever wonder if honey bees can switch hives?

Short answer — nope! Bees are super loyal to their home. Each hive has its own unique scent (thanks to the queen’s pheromones), and every bee learns it before her first flight. Guards even “sniff-check” returning foragers to make sure they belong — no matching scent, no entry!

Sometimes bees accidentally end up in the wrong hive (called drifting), especially when hives are close together or the weather’s bad. A few drifters are fine, but too many can spread disease or mites.

If a whole colony leaves, it’s usually due to overcrowding (swarming) or stress (absconding).

Bees are loyal to their family, their queen, and their home — just another reason to love these amazing little creatures. 💛

😴 I first started exploring magnesium oil many years ago to help improve my sleep. I loved the idea, but I wasn’t very consistent with it — mostly because the store-bought versions had so many extra ingredients that I didn’t want on my skin.

Fast forward to today, and I make my own magnesium oil with just two simple ingredients. I’ve noticed such a difference! It helps me unwind, eases tension, and supports a much more restful night’s sleep. 💧✨

Sometimes, less really is more.

If you’ve been looking for a natural way to relax and sleep better, give my magnesium oil a try — your body will thank you! 💜
