A tarantula hawk in action — dragging a paralyzed tarantula to her burrow to become a living nursery for her young. Brutal, fascinating, and a perfect example of how unapologetically wild nature can be.

Toothache Plant (Acmella oleracea) — also called Electric Daisy or Buzz Button Beyond dental relief, it’s a natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and immune booster. Herbalists use it in tinctures, salves, and teas to help with sore throats, fevers, and even to stimulate saliva for better digestion

I created a small vignette in honor of my father and grandfather. Along side some of my many oddities sits my dad’s old medical supplies and microscope and my grandfather’s weathered medical books, their pages still faintly carrying the scent of time and knowledge.

Catnip has gone full stalker mode 👀🐾 He’s camped outside the kitten nursery like a neighbor who pretends to “check the mail” 27 times a day just to see what’s going on. 📬🤣

I have decided to call this guy Archie Bunker, because he is so cranky.
He was a pet that lived inside a house, and became much to handle after he reached maturity. So he now lives in giant raccoon jungle gym surrounded by a forest.
(Raccoons and other wildlife should remain wild)

Welp, he figured out how to climb… hoping he can get back down now. He has this adorable but terrified look on his face.
But I have faith in his raccoon skills!🤭🦝

This raccoon was someone’s pet and he needed a trained wildlife rehabber to take him in. I will assess and determine if he can ever live in the wild, or if he requires a permanent safe place to feel free while still having the ‘creature’ comforts he has become used to (pun intended🤭)

I added 17 more galvanized raised beds, of varying sizes, to the front walkway. I went a little chaotic with this area but it seems to be paying off! I even started some bare roots of various plants- elderberry, hops, blackberry, raspberry Everything is finally starting to pop up! 💚🌱

One of my pullets has an injured foot so she wasn’t able to move around well and was getting trampled by the others, so i
I brought her inside.
