Leaf raking time now kiddos, leaves are falling all over the place now since its now starting to feel like fall in my area.

I caught a praying mantis (on camera)! Say your prayers!

This little guy was fun to watch. He didn't seem to mind me at all, and just groomed himself for a bit before heading on his way with that weird "don't worry I'm just a leaf" walk that mantises do.

You never know what you might find if you hit a rock enough times—I found this lovely chunk of quartz in the road on my walk today!

Very lovely! I think I've been playing too much Grounded. My first thought was to craft a mini-arrow out of it and take on a giant spider lol.

Every time I look across at my neighbor's front porch, I can't help but think that their outdoor furniture reminds me so much of the Alpine set in ACNL. They have a loveseat and two chairs that look almost exactly like this. I'd post a real life picture but I don't feel right about standing in front of their house snapping photos.

Remember when the U.S. president went outside and shot a balloon down from the sky? 🛰 Unlucky for him, it fell into the water! ⬇ Agh, I hate when that happens. You gotta time your shots, rookie.

A smug frog tried to move in the other night​

The snow has melted and the weeds have changed!

Spoiler

Just kidding, it hasn't snowed in about a year here. There's honestly a lot of things I don't like about the coming of spring—the pollen, the return of buzzing insects and other unpleasant bugs—but I do love when all these little wildflowers start blooming in our yard again. They're so pretty.

I don't have a photo, but I just saw a white butterfly roaming around my backyard earlier today, and it looked just like the common butterfly!

During the warm months (March-October), I also see white butterflies outside. I don’t know if they’re actually the same species.

It very well might be!

Edit: idk why it didn’t mention North America. They’re not native, though.

Pretty much every warm month day in my area you’ll see a cabbage white. Though the ones here have subtler markings iirc. Or maybe that’s just because it seems like they never stop fluttering.

I found a shell…on a tree! Ot came a long way, since there’s no ocean around here…

I saw a rainbow! (Well, a rainbow and a quarter rainbow?) XD I got so distracted by it I didn’t even realize I got too close to a goose villager and almost got attacked. Whoops!

Check out this freaky fungus! If I have my facts straight, it seems to be a Cedar-Apple Rust. Looks like it came from outer space! And some alien spilled its orange slime!

Spoiler: Orange boi

If that freaked you out, have some eyebleach…

A lady at the park pointed out this baby bunny nest! Luckily there were staff near by so I told them about the lil guys. How precious!!!
