We are almost at the end of our daffodil bloom, but Summer and I found this one while we were practicing with the leash. Summer got to work on sitting in place while I let go of the leash to take the photo. She was a very good girl. #Daffodil

We have stormy weather expected tomorrow, so I wanted to toot this beautiful new daffodil that is right outside our front door. I expect it might get wrecked in the storm.
But for today, it is perfect. #Daffodil
Exactly one year ago I used "bee safe" paint to mark three ants. I marked one with a white dot, another with yellow and the third with pink (Dottie, Daffodil and Pinky/Tulip)
Dottie and Daffodil died in the fall... but Tulip lives! I just saw her.
Tulip is a little cryptic it seems. I have not seen her for months! She's well over a year old now, possibly as old as two. I will keep an eye out for her.
Sad news. I was cleaning the carpenter ant outworld and found Daffodil’s body in the grave yard. I hadn't seen her for a few days… but that's happened before and she always came back.
But, not this time— now she’s gone. So many great memories. People came from far and wide to see her lie in state! Now it’s time to return her to the colony graveyard. (it’s what she’d want.)
Goodbye #daffodil. 😢
Quick update on #daffodil the eastern black carpenter ant minor worker. I see her most days, though I think she’s slowing down a little. She mostly hangs out at “The Burl” which seems to be a pretty popular place for the older workers. #carpenterAnts#camponotus#ants
