    I’ve been wondering how you are. Glad you and yours are all ok. Nothing too bad at all here.

    Wind and rain coming and going. It’s kind of cool to see the gusts. My house has always been boarded up, so I’ve had no view. Tossed the old boards out last year. Was supposed to have retractable shutters for this year but 💩 happened.

    I know what you mean. We have sheets of tin on ours
    Already have 3 1\2 inches in rain winds starting to pick up a little. Around noon will probably be really windy I'll keep you posted. Are you being affected yet?

    Getting just a bit of rain and some light wind so far. As long as I don’t lose power, all will be fine.

    For those strange little bugs and other animals that reproduce thru parthogenesis (without males), how do they decide to have babies? Is there some biological trigger or do they just think, “hey, I‘m lonely. Think I’ll create babies”?

    Yea I'm drinking a lot of tea and sleeping. Feels like my whole body hurts
    How do stop soil from compacting?

    To fix the problem, I sit the plant to soak for a while until moist throughout. Then you’ll just need to prevent it from drying out fully. I’m sure a better type of soil or something else would help, but I’m really not great with house plants.

    Have you had any luck with wandering jew plant? Mines not doing well, I take it out put it back outside it perks up. A few days in it looks like it's gonna die.

    With plant outside water comes out quickly from drainage holes

    Right after you water it, stick a finger down in the soil between plant root and side of pot. Should be nice and consistently moist. If dry, that is the problem.

    Okay thanks I'll try that
    My daughter went and caught another veiled this one full grown I think. She knew how hard I took Sassy's loss. Godzilla is full of attitude and calming down, my wife named him since he's alot bigger than Sassy

    He's gotta be my favorite actor ever! I bet he's even taller than Tom Cruise!

    I’ve been a fan for just about his entire career. I’d probably pay to watch him read a phone book. 😂 Hopefully now he’ll be be able to get his career back on track.

    Latest project is trying my hand at breeding hornworms. Got a few dozen eggs so far, but something went wrong with the chow mix…it never solidified. Made only a half batch so hope for better luck with the other half. 🤞

    What have I gotten myself into?! Every day there’s several dozen more eggs from the moths. If even half of them hatch, there’s going to be hornworms everywhere!
