Momma monarchs paid a visit a couple weeks back and left absolute chaos in the best way. Counted ~20 hungry caterpillars stripping the native butterflyweed down to the stems. With this winter’s El Niño keeping hard freezes away in Central FL, they’re set. #NativePlants #MonarchButterfly #Florida
Everyone shouting “drought is over” after a 20” dump is missing how water actually works here. 💧 Surface rain fixes meteorological drought. It does not instantly solve a multi-year hydrological drought. #FloridaDrought #FloridanAquifer #FLwx #Groundwater
Still too chicken to mount my antenna outside, being the lightning capital of the world or whatever...but range wise it seems to be getting most of the way to each coast. Though things definitely seem to be getting blocked over by Tampa.
It may not be pretty, but I would say the new radar app is coming along nicely.
Hmmm...I might be a laid back GM that doesn't really do much, but now... HOA powers are in full force. VIOLATIONS! #worldofwarcraft
So the random nap was definitely a good idea. :-D As we wait...
I'm thinking the cold front may have come through? lol 26 degree drop in a little over half an hour of time. #flwx
All because of the price of eggs, huh? Fucking idiots.
"People need to vote"...true, but districts need to stop being #gerrymandered. I get the battle going on now to offset what the fascists are doing. So let's get a solution on how redistricting is done. 30 yr running average of party registrations. Stability and proper representation.
While we lost our first of this group yesterday, this morning this girl emerged and was full of life and energy. Allowed her to get those wings ready and then released her this afternoon. #Butterflies #Monarchs #Florida
Norse UK 789 from London Gatwick and FedEx M11 from Memphis...just chillin out overhead until the storm moves away from MCO. #Orlando
Moved the cats over to the a fresh pot of milkweed. Counted 24 and still a couple eggs that haven't hatched yet. One of them is almost to full size and will pupate here soon. Going to get a screen enclosure for them built tomorrow to avoid the lizards from having a field day. #butterflies #monarchs
We are either going to play a rapid catch up in tropical systems this Fall, or we may get out of this season fairly well. I know I just jinxed us.
The babies are growing fast. Counted 12 so far. #monarchs #butterflies
Smokes and Mao to the rescue...just not very fast. Sending hugs for a better Thursday. :)
Weekend photo dump. Saturday evening's sunset one of the brightest I've seen here. Then a couple photos of a female monarch visiting the butterflyweed in the front yard. Going to keep an eye out for baby caterpillars this week until I need to protect them.
It's a tad damp outside. 0.22" so far, rainfall rate of 2"/hr #flwx
I've always liked Test Track... And version 3.0 is no exception. My favorite part was the last room before going outside. I wish the car would stay in there a bit longer to take it all in. #epcot #disneyworld #testtrack
Stupid tourists. Going up and down our road in the toy they rented. If only they were like...quiet. But noooooooo.
If they were taking a nap next door...they aren't now. LOL Lightning hitting their pool cage.
Gulf Fritillary on my Gold Verbena this afternoon. The Verbena or Florida Lantana is one of the endangered species I've added to the yard this year. It is doing amazing so far. Going to try some cuttings to attempt propagation of some more plants.
We really need commuter rail or other light rail to the attractions area. This is just an absolute nightmare. I-4 being I-4.
Potential damage paths in Oklahoma so far today. Norman tornado the only one visually confirmed. #okwx
