Thank you!

Thanks!

Very nice with all the pics and details! I’m glad there is more education and awareness of their importance.

Thanks !

Bee keeper in the making.

Carol was invited to help our neighbor Lisa with a bee hive inspection. Lisa’s bees trespass on our forb plot for pollen and nectar and take it back to her hives. It’s great to have her bees pollinating all the local plants. Our other neighbor has a mixed hay field that they also pollinate. It...

Some talented folks!

Thanks! Always something different to witness on my science project. :D

Thanks Frank! Maybe some of our Monarchs will take a left turn your way! :D

I’ve been waiting and watching the Common Milkweed in the plot and spotted these. I planted milkweed seeds in winter for several years and they are present in enough numbers to attract breeders. ​ Once they turn into butterflies they will enjoy all the pollinators through October. Several...

Good question. Following.

Wrens wreak havoc on nesters here. They find nests and remove eggs/chicks. :mad:

Nice looking rig! Congrats on the F-150 great trucks. Nice job on the re-mount on the F-150. Wayne

That family was extremely luck that they survived! Thanks for posting, a good reminder and to be aware of the dangers of flammable compressed liquids.

Interesting how researchers have figured out all the calls and meanings. We don’t see many here in IL. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I had to google Tri Colored Blackbird. They look similar the Tri’s have a stocky build compared to the Redwings. Sounds like they only live in your neck of the woods and numbers are down. I’m hoping to get pics of Yellow Headed Blackbirds this summer in MN. I found a colony on a lake...

Foxglove beardtongue in bloom here now a fresh food source for the locals. ​ Bees love white flowing plants Foxglove is a great pollinator. ​ Several species of bumble bees. ​ The neighbor’s honey bees helping themselves. The Foxglove bloom will last about two weeks with other pollinators...

Thinking the same! I kept the 3x5x3/16” plates that I will install this winter over the modified 1/4” plates. They will be easy to install after the camper goes on the dolly this winter. There is just enough thread left to install with a full nut bearing. Thanks Vic!

After reading posts regarding bed deformation on F-150’s with aluminum beds I decided to upgrade. I put together a common sense plan and engineered a system that should fit the bill for years to come. The stock FWC installation is a good system but, is a bare bones system IMO. I think the FWC...

I had a interesting sighting today. On the way out to mow I saw a large jet flanked by four fighter jets. The five plane group were flying west in a perfect V formation the large jet in the lead. I’m thinking the president, what do you guys think?

Enjoy the next chapter! Very nice post!

Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder! June 21 my birthday is one of the longest days of the year. Another advancement in geezerhood! :)

Fist pics with the 55-210 lens. Plenty of subject matter here on the farm. Redwings Blackbirds nesting in numbers in the plot now. They really go crazy when you approach their nest locations. They land close and make great practice. ​
