  1. ran out of steam but good progress!

    the area in front of the sheds is pretty much level and I got the dirt pile down to level up to the edge of the sheds. I think another 5 or 6 loads cart loads of dirt will finish off the pile and bring then dirt up around the back of the pond!

    my back was starting to complain and the sun came out so I stopped and ate black berries poking through the fence!

    then I went for a swim. It felt sooo good.

  3. levelling levelling levelling... and shoring up. really feeling like I am finally nearing the end of the heavy landscape work!!

    why does the edge of the #poolpond need shoring up? Well partly due to ants. 🐜

    They are common and harmless. No ants were intentionally hurt in this operation. Carry on team ant! 🫡

  5. The big #anthill I pass on my lunchtime walks is coming to life! (for size reference, the hill is somewhere between 4 and 5 feet tall.

    I don't check it daily so it's possible that I'm late to catch on, but this was the first time all winter I've seen activity on the hill. They're moving slowly, presumably to conserve energy.

    A good lesson, that: Move slowly. Conserve energy.

  7. A few photos from my walk today, showcasing this cool #anthill I walk past every day.

    There's a low hill covered in ivy near the path, but a section of it has been neatly cleared of ivy. For whatever reason, the #ants keep it trimmed back from the top of the hill.

    Bonus flowering tree, since why not.

  9. CW: Ants. Whole bunch of 'em. Not doing anything wrong, just being ants out on their hill. Like they do.

    Looks like the #ants around my office have woken from their long slumber! Last time I walked by here the hill was still and lifeless.

    This hill is probably 4 feet tall, one of the bigger ones I've seen personally. They're all over the place.

    Happy Spring, ants.

  11. Found a large & healthy #colony of #ThatchingAnts - they're one of my fave #NativeInsects on #VancouverIsland ❤🐜❤
    These are very #beneficial #ants in natural #ecosystems - they eat other insects & also aid with forest debris cleanup.
    I really enjoy watching them at work & will do a video of that at different site w/larger #AntHill
