I'm just another flea on Gaia's back, raising butterflies & moths. Eclectic taste & post many random thoughts. All photos are my own. I Will credit when I share other artist's work. My home is my heart, 4 young adults, 4 cats, 2 old adults & 2 dogs
Pinned
I won't disclose how long I sat, watching & waiting to capture this video but I am going to tell you, the actual speed of the transformation took 8 minutes. In order to share this with you, I sped up the video 8 times.
I present to you, the transformation of a varied eggfly caterpillar to chrysalis🦋
Phucking splinter in my pinky finger 😭
Thank the heavens my kids have good eyes 😮‍💨

Welcome to later menopause, where random joints in your body suddenly hurt like they've been snapped in half somehow yet, when you've suffered for long enough to finally see a Dr. the pain vanishes without a lingering sign it ever existed in the first place 🙄

All I need help with now is getting the hinges on 😁

Wood, cut and painted 😁 All done sunsafe with my new sleeves 🥰

I was 45 when my, undiagnosed AuADHD arse worked out that the "lifetime guarantee" is Not for the "human who bought it's" lifetime, but the lifetime of the actual item 🙄😝
And THIS is another reason we go unnoticed 😑

See bluesky, there's other countries using this app too 😯
My periodic plea to @bsky.app.

Can we please have "Trending" filters by region? If you're going to allow folk from outside the US to use this site, it'd be great if its functionality catered to us too.

Husband, observing me bustling around carrying bits of wood, :" Whatcha doin?"
Me:" Building a door for the shed"
Him:" Um, ok....You know that's a chair though, don't you?"
Me:" It's made of wood, isn't it?"
Him:" Just checking, carry on."

😂 I love his encouragements 🥰

This beautiful girl eclosed this morning, long before I woke up 🤩🦋
I released her onto my sunflower. Now my phone's camera memory is bursting 😆😍
She's so photogenic 🥰

Morning 🦋
Bluesky's "trending" today looks like something from the days of yore. When the town crier would walk through the tiny village, ringing his bell, shouting the time & "all's well", cause it was, all well, in their little town.🤭
Apparently, there's a party happening somewhere right now🤔🤨

Just as I was going to have another swim to get the black paint off, we got hit with a thunderstorm.
But, the door looks good so far, doesn't it? There's still a bit to do, gaps to fill in but it's pretty much exactly as I want it to look 🥰

Working on a door ☺️ Am having A Lot of fun!

Went to our lovely visitor's center to find some cute, local themed Christmas cards & was a little disappointed. Got post cards instead 😊 So, the offer still stands, just replace "Christmas card" with "post card" 👍😁
I'm thinking of sending Christmas cards to pocket friends this year 🤔 Who would like one? ☺️

Me * excited about something I've been waiting for*

My AuADHD body :"LIQUEFY EVERYTHING! NOW!"

Me :"Isn't this getting a bit old?"

My body :" INTENSIFY LIQUEFACTION!"

😒

Truer words never written!
It’s sad that we need a dead man's emails to believe the testimony of hundreds of living women.

"Butterfly! There's a butterfly!!!" I hear as I run to grab my camera to capture it's appearance. Alas, too late. The "pop" happened as I unzipped the net 😝 I did get the start of the unfurling of the wings though 😍
I say, welcome to this glorious female Monarch Butterfly 🦋 The first of my season ❤️

Good Morning 🦋
Dinner will happen tonight 🤭 When you have a child who can't sweat & you take them shopping, by their request, in 32 Degree C temperatures they will come home extremely tired.
Poor guy fell asleep at 4 pm & only just emerged at 6.30 am.
Today I'm on butterfly watch 😍
Happy Thursday💜

I wonder what eclosed from this 🥰🦋 It's only 1 cm long and barely 4 mm wide.
