Granny's gone and done it again

My stepfather was raised in Springfield. Moved to So Cal after he discharged from the 101st in 1945. Said Missouri was a good place to be FROM. My grandfather said the same thing about Chicago. His family moved to So. Cal in the early 1900's (like about 115 years ago early). I can only imagine what he would think if he saw it now.

Hello everyone! Not much news here. Days are warming up and the garden is taking off. Getting lots of squash, cucumbers are coming along, and very hopeful of getting some lovely maters in a month or two.

Watched this bee cram itself deep into squash blossoms and rub its back all over the stamens.
Sooo much pollen!

It spent some time moving the pollen off its eyes and onto its legs, then dove back in for more. It could barely fly!
Talk about an overachiever!

Pretty glad... wish I could clone it

That bee should be named CAP!

Not enough meat on these claws to make a decent crab dip. View attachment 2212234

Maybe I should set up the old devil tank as a crab tank.

Does it have to go up for air?

Yes and no.

Yes and no.

They can do either or I think. Perfect setup for them though has some land for them to be on as well.

Clearly DH's crab likes some terrestrial time. Maybe it needs a little island above the surface.

Changed your smokes into what? Candy cigarettes so you can stop the habit?

I wondered what this meant.
