It did give me a bit more of a healthy respect to electricity than I had previously had. Before that, it was just a word and a magical force that made the world warm and light :O)
I didn't have a garden for years and years and years. I do like having one now. I think my garden is amazing, but my neighbours think it is some kind of green riot. What they can see of it anyway, lol!
One of my neighbours is pissed off with me because we have a bees nest on the fence that separates us and when they told me, in a tone that suggested getting rid of it I was like, eh, fuck no. Bees man! We need them!
😂 Those kind of experiences leave a lasting imprint. I don't even trust myself with fire, never mind electricity. Things like to burn me, literally. Those are other fun stories. Very funny now though.
So wonderful to have a garden. I haven't always had one either. It's an amazing experience. Might get your neighbours going on their own. This seems to spread. Relaxing also. Here though, it's also performance art, since enough neighbours have mentioned my garden to me, LOL. I never thought about anyone watching.
Screw the guy with the issues about bees, you most definitely need them. He needs a wasp's nest, bet that would stop his complaining. Hornets would work as well. I have personal experience there. I wonder what type of bees and could you do your own small honey making operation...hmmmm...
Fire! I love fire! Never had a bad experience with it! Although that makes me sound like a nutty arsonist. hehe.
We only have wasps so far. None of those mad hornets yet. Thankfully! I do like the bees although they are my kryptonite and if one comes near me and catches me unawares I squeal like a six year old!
FIRE! Hahaha! I bet you handle it better than I do. Nutty arsonist, LOLOL! What visions that brings forth. I wonder if you could spin a story with that?
Wasps, ugh, I keep my distance from those, since they can be aggressive. I get hornets on my balcony, even without the garden. One year they built a nest in a bucket full of elk antler crowns (see how those always get me in trouble?). I didn't know why they were hanging around until finding the deserted nest the next year. Now I get aggressive if they come around. I swat them off the balcony. You could put that six year old squeal to a song, bet that'd be wild.
Found bees last week, huge, later checked and they are "ground bees" who nest in the ground, or decaying plant matter close to ground. I made sure not to sit on a nest and was a little jumpy at bees almost half the size of my thumb.
I bet there is a story in that!
I used to do entirely fictional stories in my earlier Steemit/Hive career. I kinda miss those but I don't have the time for the daily blogging anymore. A crazy arsonist would be a good one!
I like bees and go out of my way not to kill them but yeah. Wasps are fair game. They are drawn to me too. It must be that six year old squal that they want to hear!
I have seen ground bees. I didn't even know there was such a thing till a few years ago.
I'm sure there is, I can already see the cover art. Hahaha, crazy arsonist totally fits you. The fictional writing always seems to take more energy and time. You've been here for a long while, so I can imagine the number of posts you've done. Always a juggle trying to balance things, especially these days, so I can see several reasons why you don't post daily. I think you're more frequent than I am though. Daily isn't something I'd ever be able to do. I admire those who can.
LOL! I agree with that. Oh boy, wasps like you, great. They must be picking up that vibe and homing in to hear. I just found out about the ground bees last week, LOL! I took some pics. It's the idea of nests in the ground. Hornets do that sometimes, so I'm already watching for these holes, just didn't realize bees, huge ones.
Daily posting is hard but you don't settle into a rythym. Although, I think it is easy for the quality of posts to suffer when done daily. Some people go too far with actifit and all that shit. Still, each to their own!
You are giving me the heebs now that I am going to sit on a seething cauldron of underground nesting bees and they will punish me for my sins!!
I died and it took some time to come back to this bloody annoying body.
In reality, had a serious family event occur. Complicated situation to be begin with, nothing new there. Still waiting for whatever crap is to follow. So I had to take some time to go deal with that, hence my silence.
Quality of posts can suffer when done daily, but that isn't always the case. Actifit is one of the types of posts I ignore completely, if I may be so blunt. It's best I not expand on my thoughts of actifit all that jazz associated with it, not having that much to do with Hive at all, LOL. I might offend people.
Settling into a rythym for posting, hahaha, awful me that I am, I immediately think of how I operate in terms of business, so I apply those sort of rules to accomplish consistent quality performance. I haven't been doing that on Hive because I didn't want my experience here to be oriented in such a direction. I'm guilty of enjoying the experience primarily of sharing some of what I create (as long as it measures up to my standards of quality) and meeting people, having that social experience with those I connect with on whatever it happens to be. Also guilty of liking to have fun, jokes and good conversation.
LOL! I find them easy to spot, the holes are not small usually. They also like to nest where dead leaves and plant matter are. They don't move super fast or seem to swarm, so fairly easy to spot. Just inspect where you park your bottom before planting it down.
