HAHA

I love it. I am sure

that the family that purchased

Ed in TX. to bring to TN, 

to his new home never thought

this would happen.

Author of children’s book based on infamous escaped zebra shares the story of the book’s quick turnaround

I know my post at times, 

okay, all the time are full 

of lots of random stuff.

My head is a mass of random

stuff. Right now, my insides

feel all wiggly and all over 

the place which always puts my

thoughts the same way.

When I get this way, I can't 

normally stay on topic but when

I blog I try hard to not bounce

from this to that and back to 

the begin. If I do, please forgive me.

Moving on....Thursday I was in the 

yard when the owner of the two

dogs on the other side of 

neighbor was out as well as 

her dogs. I don't mind dogs, 

I was raised with them.

I however cringe at large 

dogs being wild. My balance is 

always in question and all it 

would take would be one jump

on me to take me down.

These two are full of energy.

I had to turn my back on them

several times to stop them 

from jumping on me while I 

talked with the owner. 

Sugar, the light color Golden

Retriever is about three, loves 

to come to my yard and bark 

at me. Silly. 

The black lab is just a puppy

and I am afraid she is loving 

the wild running.

After they left the yard I 

noticed that my bee/bird

bath was missing a bird.

WHAT?

I looked around and I 

never located it.

I figured one of the pups must

have taken it.

No biggie, a buck each is 

all they cost.

However, when upon returning 

from my trip to Nashville on 

Friday, I noticed the red bird gone.

My first thought,

"Okay, who is F'ing with me"?

Then again, my thoughts 

went to the

dogs. 

I looked around and found the bird, 

and if you notice, the tail a tad space

away.

So funny. 

That same Thursday I made

my venture around the yard.

I saw something crawling 

around and I took a shot with 

my cell but I did not kneel down

to check it out. And it was not until 

I blew it up and posted on 

FB that I found out what it was.

A long lost, well, not really lost,

but a distant cousin I never knew 

about but found via Ancestry.com

said this about my find,

"Asian Giant Hornet, not supposed to be

here, invasive species."

GREAT!!

Then he sent this message, 

 If an Asian giant hornet is found in 

Tennessee, it should be reported to the 

Tennessee Department of Agriculture. 

Specifically, contact the State apiary inspector 

or your local UT Extension agriculture agent. 

You can find the contact information for your 

county's UT Extension office online. It is also recommended 

to take photos of the hornet and email them

 to tn.agriculture@tn.gov

Crap, now I need to take care of that

even though it has been days later. 

Okay, writing about this reminded me

to report...DONE!

During my trip to Nashville the 

other day, I dropped this off

at Deana's house, on the path

leading to her garden for her

to find later.

This pic was posted on my page

with a thank you.

I had noticed she did not have

any gnomes in her garden.

Could that be cause gnomes

of little tricksters? Maybe she

don't want them in her garden...

OOPS on my part!

Since I can't seem to stay on 

task, even with posting, I am 

going to share some pics 

I took with the big camera

while out and about.

Spiderwort

(at least this is 

a spider I don't mind)

This shot is blurred but I 

was trying to catch that look.

Summer Fishfly, 

Google shows me that the spider

below is a Porrhothele Antipodiana, a black

tunnelweb spider. Native to New Zealand.

According to Google the 

insect below is a Phidippus Audax,

a bold jumping spider. I thought it 

was a moth, and had it jumped

on me, I would have 

crapped my pants!

Some strange looking insects

in these parts for sure. 

I am done. Gotta do something 

in this house today....

gotta, 

       gotta, 

           going,

Pam
