On our morning walks we often spot other dogs taking their owners for a walk. Today I spotted a couple of moccasins (poodles?) so I held back a bit and then they all spotted each other. They didn't bark. They squeaked. Which set old Weezy off because he loves rough play with squeaky toys. I was amused they can make noise like that.

Debating if I buy these bugs or if I might be able to keep up the manual removal until I can get some attractors flowering. I saw one ladybug in the wild so that’s promising but no more since.

I figured gardening would be a cheap hobby (and with bare bones minimum it can be) but I am absolutely getting a crash course in disease/pest management with the heirlooms and also the need for feeding.

Melbcat’s meds and vet appointments are quite expensive so I feel guilty for constantly spending money on something that doesn’t have a high return. It means I’m really spending for myself. It’s just one of the few hobbies I’m able to maintain these days.

R-handed, I'm pretty sure if I'm sitting down, I put on R shoe first, but if I'm standing up it's left.
