Menderbug

Sadly, no bonus otters 🦦 yet. Good luck guessing tomorrow's genre!

I have to admit I kind of despise summer, and August is pretty much the worst of it around here. I just cannot deal with the temperatures. But one thing I do love is how full of life everything seems, especially since moving to the countryside. Bees buzzing around our lavender, cows getting herded from one pasture to another, a dozen different birdsongs mixing together, a ewe suckling her lamb, ram bleating as the farmer brings out more hay, deer grazing on the fields, and there, an Ant Mill on the forest trail, eternally busy (sorry, ants).
