Happy new year! One of my lemon pigs was pre-zested, so I hope that's not bad luck.

My sister's dog chewed up her favorite sweater so I told her I'd try mending it. I wasn't expecting much, especially since I was just freehanding it trying to knit shapes to match the holes, but it turned out so much cooler than expected!

These assholes just chilling after they fully demolished my seed starter tray and scattered the little coir pods everywhere.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the winter when I have to bring in my outdoor plants and it'll be even more crowded, but this is my current view from my desk at home.

No thoughts, head empty.

This is one of the baby squirrels that grew up on my porch and apparently got used to seeing me out there, so it's pretty chill.
The other day I put out most of a bland watermelon and it's been enjoying it.

They sure don't call them whistling ducks for nothing. Very loud, very insistent, very squeaky.

Visited by a pair of black-bellied whistling ducks! We're on the northernmost tip of their usual range, depending on the map, but I've never seen them here before.
It's super weird seeing ducks in trees. It just seems wrong. Look at its big old flipper feet. Those are not tree bird feet.

Back in high school I made a Cerberus costume by decapitating two stuffed animals and sewing them onto a shirt. We're trying to find a place to donate it, but I couldn't resist getting a picture with Poppy.

This is the first hyacinth to bloom, and it smells so good.
I didn't actually notice the little bugs until I was looking at this picture, but apparently they're invasive cucumber beetles. :-(

I also repaired the drip irrigation system for the raised bed. SOMEONE chewed through almost half of the little hoses. Probably squirrel but also possibly bunny, since I know they've had nests in there.
The system seems to be working now & I planted a bunch of flowers.

For reference, this is the ridiculously overkill rainwater collection system my dad designed & built years ago. There's also a network of underground piping leading to six hose bib risers throughout the yard.

Bonus:
Despite my apologies, I kept disturbing this young bunny when I was working in the garden.

We have a lot of attractive weeds with/instead of grass, like straggler daisy. I've started seeing a TON of a new weed all over the yard that I hadn't seen before, but apparently it's called Texas Baby Blue Eyes.
I mostly only pull weeds if they have burrs or smell bad, this one is welcome.

Kinda want to get more. They seem pretty adaptable? The labels said full shade to full sun. Hope they do well here.
They're in the Saxifragaceae family, same as my Strawberry Begonia (neither a strawberry nor begonia), which has been one of my favorite houseplants this past year.
