A deer grazing on the grass back towards the beehives. 🦌

The answer to today’s #WhatsItWednesday question: it’s a bug catcher. If some bug comes inside (e.g. we often get ladybugs in Fall), I can put this over the bug, slide the hatch closed, then take it outside and open to release. Easy and harmless.

I spotted a deer while on my rounds this morning. She wasn’t overly concerned about me, though did flush out a cat (Spud) who was watching her from amongst the grasses. 🦌🐈
I think this might be my first sighting of a bobcat (GIF). 🐈
Sorry if this grosses out anyone. I found several of these larvae-like things in mud wedged between stuff in a junk pile. I haven’t been able to identify them; can anyone help? I assume an insect of some kind.
Update: Seems likely to be from a mud dauber wasp. Mostly harmless.
On the homestead blog: it’s Friday… Flock Friday. This week, ducks, chickens, and hummingbirds… and a rodent. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 14 is “spooky”. A video that some might find spooky: a spider lowered itself onto a large leaf on the floor of the feral cat feeder, and hoisted it up to the ceiling… but ultimately dropped it. 📹🍁🕷 #mbnov
Another slice of homestead life; a young male deer enjoying some fallen apples. 🌳🍎🦌
