I was working on weeding my front garden this morning, and in just kind of… *a mood*. Not in a bad mood per se but like… just a mood.
Then this neighbor came and visited me for a bit and holy crap was that welcome company.
Then a woman walked past with her dog and said “I love your garden flags you always have out! They always make me laugh!” And that brightened my day quite a bit too. For reference, I have the googly eyes out. The day after I lost Iggy, I had the second one out and I was on my porch crying and I heard someone say, “omg that’s the best! I need to take a picture of that!” I bought them for myself, but it makes me so happy that other people enjoy them, too.

I went on a walk today, and saw a bunch of my first bugs of the season!
First up was a bumblebee near the park. I heard it before I saw it - I forgot how nice the sound of its buzzing is! I saw a fly a bit later on siting on a dead leaf, only spotting it because of the contrast of its shiny exoskeleton. As I was leaving I caught a glimpse of a small, white butterfly. I don’t know the species, but they’re pretty common here.
Then, on my way home, I saw a bunch of wasps by a wooded fence! The first was a smaller, black and yellow one that we call yellow jackets. I think I saw another one as well, but it moved too quickly for me to get a good look at it. The final wasp was twice the size of the yellow jackets, with dangling yellow legs and a red-brown body. I’m not sure what species this one is, but I saw a similar one hanging out in our garden last year. I wonder if they were gathering the wood from the fence for their nests.
During the entire walk I also saw some lone ants making their way across the sidewalk, and a few smaller, fly-like bugs that I couldn’t get a good enough look at to see what they were.
It may be a bit silly to be writing all of this out, but I’m just really happy that the bugs are back! The more I learn about them, the more I look forward to seeing them when I’m outside. I hope that once the garden gets going, I’ll get to see them more often when they visit!

Does DogDay have romantic feelings for your sona or is it more platonic? The way you draw him I wouldnt mind if it was the first- 👀
(theyre not a sona, just a standard y/n insert. im not much of a self shipper. the y/ns are their own characters in a way)
and as far as feelings go…
there’s affection on both sides...but perhaps something more from our favorite dog.
