Those are the words I find myself muttering most often. And since The Plague hit in March 2020, I'm the only person I talk to anymore- in person, anyway. So I'm always hearing myself say it.
You never know what might catch your eye, or make you wonder, or laugh out loud, or piss you off, once you get outside and start looking around.
Just about every day I put on my shoes at some point and open the door and walk for an hour or so, usually with no particular destination in mind. It's always the best part of my day, because, well- YOU NEVER KNOW.

This wasp nest has been there for at least 6 months, which was the first time I noticed it. Google says they are built (of chewed-up wood) in the spring, and that they last 3-4 months typically.

I had a bad run-in with wasps last summer, but I'm still interested in their nests, as long as the wasps are finished with them.
This is what was left of the large wasp nest I disturbed last summer and got stung about a dozen times, when I was messing with the sawhorses. Maybe I missed it because it was so close to the ground. That nest was then destroyed by a friend, which was a nice gesture, but....it only sent the wasps into the walls of the apartment building I live in, which caused the manager to send an exterminator to spray poison all over the place......
I would have been happy to leave the wasps alone for the rest of the summer. I guess you just never know.
