Flipping over big rocks to check out the life underneath!

Jump in the boat???

I have found a lot of success with CBG gummies for the energizing effect without the high. I am surprisingly more alert and focused when I take them. I found a THC vape pen that was high in the cbg, and I actually had to stop hitting it early in the afternoon or I couldn't settle down.

I have been smoking/getting high for years, and I had never experienced that before. Placebo or not, I believe it improves my day to day life (when used appropriately).

My personal theory is something such as a rearview mirror decoration/doodad created a magnified beam and burned a hole with solar ignition.

The top few leaves, to my knowledge, look fairly healthy! It's common for a seedling to lose its lower leaves as it ages and needs more energy for nice, new, bigger leaves. Kind of like losing baby teeth.

Also, some plants require a dormancy period. Depending on what zone you are in, the plant likely needs this resting time to focus on it's roots while waiting for the spring.

After seeing how quickly they can lay eggs, yes. I will always swat them away from uncovered food.

This is the best Where's Waldo game ever.

I'm a full grown adult, but I still think about the book, The Giver by Lois Lowry frequently.

I remember reading it in middle school and seeing how sad the monotony of the restricted world was. How cruel people could be acting on orders and/or without their hearts. How educating yourself with different experiences opens your eyes. Among other great undertones and lessons.

I hope to introduce all of my nieces and nephews to it in the future.
