This season’s attempt to create a habitat nice enough to attract frogs to our formerly vacant pond was a success!

I have a pond with lots of native plants in it. Tadpoles too. Today I realized they’ve also spawned in the kiddie pool I bought for our dog. This is a way better use!

Hiking and gave myself a start when I nearly crossed paths with this guy 🐍🪵

Is there a word for the feeling one gets when out thrifting and they come across something they remember from regular use at the house they grew up in? Like, this is a very specific colander that my mom had, and today is the first time I’ve seen one just like it! ✨immediate feelings✨

I plant Shasta Daisies every year because my daughter loves them. This is the first year I think they might actually take! Also, hey there, two-lined spittlebug (Prosapia bicincta)!

I’m currently obsessed with my little backyard pond. Turning it into a native ecosystem and finding frog eggs in it truly feels like a dream come true. And the pickerelweed is blooming!
