Hail yeah!

We are having all kinds of whacky weather these days: hail, thunderstorms, lots and lots of rain. The rain garden is currently a water feature - very full. That end of the yard is rather soggy as well. I have plans to remedy the latter.

I have a mason bee nesting box that has never hosted a mason bee. But perhaps this paper wasp nest is fulfilling that job? If I keep an eye on it, maybe I will see what emerges from those plugged cells.

It's going to be a busy week here at Woodchuck Acres, starting with the installation of a new furnace and AC tomorrow. The joys of homeownership are overrated, in my opinion - eventually stuff wears out and needs to be replaced - but I do like having a yard to play in.
