I used to fantasize about wearing gloves and a mask everyday and I’ve wanted Los Angeles to be a ghost town for as long as I can remember.
I guess you gotta be careful what you wish for. #TheSecret

Hi all! @aircircle @Yoda-Stevie day 634 or something I think is what my counter read. Life is going! I’m finally at a stage with my kids where I am ready to truly return some focus to my own self, especially on the physical front. I have an offer to have aikido classes paid for, and I’m really excited at the prospect of learning how to defend and protect myself and my kids.
Hubby is still my sober buddy, and I am grateful for this latest and greatest version of ourselves we’ve made.
I hope everyone here has a blessed beautiful sober day…at home… Haha

My neighbor’s porch is a woodpecker feeder. He’s got some kinda bee that drills holes and lays eggs in the railings, and the woodpeckers make bigger holes getting the larva.

Carpenter bees. I had them living in my shed last year.
I had never heard of them until then.
Not dangerous/aggressive, nor do they generally cause considerable structural damage, thankfully. The holes are generally meant for one bee, they don’t build extensive colonies like termites.

True. The holes are small, like someone used a 1/4" drill bit. Smooth, perfectly round…until a woodpecker comes. Then the hole gets widened significantly and is rough. Woodpeckers are protected species.
My neighbor plans to have the deck replaced with composites. I’ll have to watch to make sure the bees don’t move over my way.

Yup, the holes I had were exactly like that, as if it they were done by a drill. Very precise and smooth. It baffled me for some time, until I put 2 and 2 together, and took to google.
I’d see the bees hovering around the shed. If you were in the shed and remained still and quiet, you could hear them scratching and burrowing.
