Dead tree tetris

By which I mean I restacked and tidied the woodpile due to the past season's depredations. This is always an adventure because one never knows what one might find in the woodpile. Slugs. A LOT of slugs. Spiders, beetles, many-legged-things, ants, yeah all that's to be expected.

( Guess what else I found in the woodpile? )

There are a lot of watersnakes in the lake.

Today, I saw a boatload of watersnakes. They're not poisonous or anything but they are kind of nasty and will bite at you if they feel cornered. Mostly they just startle me. But I saw, like, all of them today. Ugh. Not a huge fan of the startle.

( This post looks like it's not going to be about dragonflies. )
