I didn’t leave my house today. How lazy is that? In my defense, I was actually going to go for a hike today, but as I was getting out of bed to go do it, my aptly-named cat Sammy Sumo tried to jump up. As the word ‘tried’ there implies, he failed, and got stuck hanging on the edge of the bed… by my foot. I screamed and writhed in pain waiting for him to unhook his claws, but he couldn’t. He just hung there, dangling all 18 pounds of his fatty flesh from my foot. I was finally able to get my leg off the bed and push him toward the ground. Then I started bleeding from three holes he just made (which now resemble Orion’s Belt) and soon nasty red splotches surrounded the puncture wounds. By the time it stopped hurting a few hours later, I was too lazy to go out (but whatever, I’m going skiing tomorrow).
Where this whole story is going is that instead of going hiking, I explored my backyard in my slippers. Yesterday I had pulled a bunch of weeds, so I was out inspecting my work today and playing with the dog when I noticed two little honeycombs up on my patio ceiling. I knocked them down with a broom (they were crusty and old and not in use). They fell into the grass and I was so intrigued at how nature can create such perfect shapes that I ran and got my camera. I took a picture, and then wandered around taking pictures of everything else. I’m fairly certain these photos are not what you all come here to look at, but I’m getting bitched at for not posting enough, so this is what you get when you demand quantity instead of quality.
