Booboo! I don’t think a lot of people on here won’t know the Yogi the bear cartoon!
I do know them lol, remember that I was born in Cuba where we watched Russian cartoons and the ones everyone watched in the USA in the 70-80-90s lol
 
Well if memory serves me right from when I was a truck driver there are areas in Florida that have mosquitoes as big as velociraptors. Not sure if Luis is in one of those areas.
After 5pm my patio is full of them, I come and sit on the patio with 2 fans lol

yeah, you don't have bears there.
 
we had a really nice and friendly one once. I walked over and picked it right up. brought it inside. seemed like someone's pet. brought it down to the vet to inquire and they said bring it back home and let it go. :face-with-rolling-eyes: the other night I saw some bird tracks but not sure what made these. kids messing with me? they seem pretty big.

Omg ( that’s oh my god for you older reefers) I’m 99.9% sure that is a dodo bird track that is thought to be extinct ! If you can get it on camera you will blow the ornithologist world up!

I remember when I was young ( true story, I was young once, I have pictures to prove it) and lived in Jacksonville everyone had a netting on the front of their cars because there were so many love bugs.
 
After an unintentional nap lol,I want to use half for flowers and the other half for tomatoes, cilantro, cachucha peppers... Any recommendations for the flowers?

The petunias circled in red were really pretty too. There are endless varieties of them, so some of those in your bed would look nice too!

You should have brought it in and warmed it up! If you're cold, they're cold!
