Did you spend some time in nature over this past weekend? What did you do? Did you find anything interesting? Experience anything new?

  • Was out in the garden planting some new things and transplanting others when one of the local pileated woodpeckers came to use my garden fork’s handle as a perch and hang out for some fifteen minutes, even with me moving and working just a few feet away. They’re usually into having more space between us, so it was an awesome experience.

    Got buzzed a few times by some hummingbirds too - they can get aggressive when the flowers are late, and they’ll fly close enough that you can feel the wake from their flight on your neck and face.
