Rando photo dump. First, Happy 4th birthday to SootSprite and Calcifer!

The fine tuning of rhe turtle pond continues, and a dirty turtle is a happy turtle.
This squirrel had obviously not seen a turtle before and was SHOOK

Today was so nice I worked in the back yard nearly all day.

I found this absolutely gorgeous funnel weaver on a pot I needed. I was going to put her somewhere safe and she jumped to the ground and was promptly eaten by a chicken.

Sigh.

Ah nature.

For the first time in many many years I'm starting seeds inside.

This has two kinds of corn ( I know, I'm crazy) luffa, nasturtium, bok choi, and something called Malabar spinach.
I also have an egg carton of more nasturtium sprouts growing too. I like them because they are bright and edible to humans, chickens, rabbits and turtles

I sent a western widow all the way to New York on Monday. I ship overnight, but the next morning I got an error message. Delay due to mechanical issues... plane broke?
So my poor little spider got there today instead, and she did great!
Lots of people ship spiders 2 day, or more... I think that's too much. I know it's more expensive but it's way better doing overnight, and shipping hub to hub so the box is not sitting on a truck all day. I drop off around 5pm right at the hub where the plane is, and usually the package gets to the destination before 9:30am the next day, every time zone.

I found a snail.

In my janky-ass pond-in-a-plastic-bin that my goldfish and water plants have been overwintering in.

This definitely is not one of mine, and I have no clue where it came from!
