Thanks for the cards and the cake and the chickens 🙂

The moment some of you have been waiting for – the return of the wildlife camera!
This time I placed it next to our front steps, angled at a point I had a hunch about…
Here’s the results:
Finally, shots of the chipmunks that live in our front garden!
But, as you can see here, they’re not the only guys to hang out on our steps:
Now we’ve seen squirrels, chipmunks, deer and birds in the photos. But I know of another type of mammal occasionally seen in our garden. I wonder if (or even how?) I can capture some shots of that…

Yesterday, whilst mowing the lawn, I was stung on the back of my right calf by a wasp.
It hurt like hell! Within seconds the area around the sting had started to swell up and turn a deathly white. It would eventually be about egg sized before (about an hour later) starting to return to normal. Of course we had no appropriate medicine at home, so I just endured. Even now, almost 24 hours later, I can still feel a slight tinge at the place of the sting.
I did manage to see the culprit. It wasn’t a yellowjacket – it was bigger and blacker.
Or maybe not. The wildlife camera was turned on yesterday and I just now retrieved this shot, taken at the exact moment I was attacked.
As you can see I am lucky to be alive!
…for 30 straight days. (Or maybe even 32, since I didn’t plan this and wasn’t keeping track.)
What this means is, for 30 days in a row, I have eaten lunch out. Every single one of these meals was paid for, at a restaurant (often fast food.)
I’m honestly not sure what to make of this fact. I welcome some commentary – is this something to be proud of?
