    I’m so confused, the paper wasps around here are territorial assholes. Had a nest built on my porch and had to stop using that door. We let them be because we built the house in their woods, but they were definitely not chill at all haha

    Edit: Did some learning, the regional species of paper wasps we encounter are known not only for their aggression but also their vastly more painful sting. Wonderful!

        Ozark Mountains! But you should definitely still camp here, I live in the woods and wouldn’t trade this area for anything!

                I’m in love! Is that your homestead? I grew up on a farm that my parents still live on, it’s astonishingly similar to your neck of the woods, the pasture photo is my parent’s place.

                It’s very dense around my house so hard to photograph, but here are my expecting neighbors! Should have some baby deer jumping and playing around the house soon!

                Just so you know, you’re the coolest person I’ve ever seen on the fediverse :)

                  Nice with that pond as well!

                  I got a small homestead with goats and meat bunnies, and my partner got horses. I love the life but it prohibits me from the long camping trips I used to do! If have a few lakes around where I pitch my tent when the mood takes me :)

                    I have a few lakes near me I love to camp on!

                    It’s awesome to know there is someone like me on the other side of the world :)
