no rain recently to bring the mushrooms out, but i have been taking photos around the yard. i’ve been fixing up this house for months now, slowly but surely. when i realized it was the perfect time of year to do a garden, it’s all i’ve been able to think about. i’ve always wanted to try, so i’m going hard on it. new patio too and lots of new landscaping. haven’t even bothered with the structural stuff yet. nice thing about being in real estate is that you meet a lot of people who can do the things you can’t, like home inspections. i’ve also got (literally) a small nursery’s worth of plants left over from all the properties i’ve sold over the years. buyers almost always want to replace the landscaping when there’s something as unique as a cactus growing previously. i’ve always loved plants, especially cacti, but now i have too many lol. one thing at a time. just the other day i almost stepped on this giant ant sitting on my front steps that i didn’t recognize. so random. somebody chopped off his antler, poor guy. probably why he held so still for the photo.
