Speaking of bugs, there have been a few unsettling BIG ROACH sightings recently after dark in the backyard. Also, there was a moth about the size of a hummingbird flying around the other day. And the raccoon and squirrels and possums are still hanging around. There’s been possum babies popping up now and again. And I saw a tiny praying mantis in one of the bushes when I was watering the plants a couple weeks back. The pepper tree has been completely taken over by those little bushtit birds (or whatever they are). Originally there were only two and the last time I saw them there were at least 9. I think the mockingbirds had a nest too because they were acting crazy.
