Home for the weekend

Since the days are still warm, I’m bringing the basil and peppers and sometimes if I have time, the tomatoes (but I was rushing this morning) out for maximum sunshine.
Another tiny spider on the outside work bench!

Moving and chopping the woodpile yesterday

The Chef very kindly moved and chopped the woodpile yesterday away from the bean trellis so I can keep it weeded. He found many creatures which I have documented.

Ant nest
Young beetle
Angry larval thing waving its head around
Pupal something
Long-horned beetle (family Cerambycidae). Many like it were inside the logs.
Big beautiful beetle living under the bottom log. I moved it over to new log pile.
A small caterpillar alternatively playing dead and thrashing its head threateningly around.
While we were outside, I noticed the basils and Salvia coccinea (tropical sage) sprouting.
