Another #RuralBroadband installation. The place is completely surrounded by trees, so we had to go very high up to get a connection that allows comfortable #RemoteWork

A small ditch in the #wetlands. Now trying to confirm what I heard – that this used to be a small river, Mietułka, which formed the border between Poland and Lithuania a couple of centuries ago. Now just a ditch.

Looks like a perfect bun, but is probably not edible.

The small puncture was fixed by heating a zip tie with a cigarette lighter and dripping hot plastic on the damaged area. Zip ties and cigarette lighters are necessary if you want to survive in a forest.

Our puppies, #IdąPsięta, tested their teeth on that watering can. Now it got fixed – with a zip tie.

When you're very busy and need a moment of rest, don't go for a walk in the forest. And if you do, don't look down. Or you might end up with a few more hours of unexpected work.

I can't id this #plant. A small dog the size of half a small dog for scale.

Okoliczna szlachta znaczy swój teren. A wystarczyło nasikać.

We have a new puppy, but it's a bit weird, so we'll probably sweep it under the rug and wait for another to appear.

#Polesia is hot.

I managed to get a glimpse of the owner of the nest: Eurasian harvest mouse (Micromys minutus)

Had I cut the goldenrod indiscriminately, this small nest would be gone. Those few plants will stay here, bloom, and spread their evil seeds, but the owner of the nest will keep it's home.

Day one of this year's battle with Canadian goldenrod, Solidago canadensis (a bit late, I know). I decided not to use a brushcutter for a number of reasons. Cutting the plants would leave sharp stumps of stems in the ground. Not that I walk around barefoot, but our dogs, #IdąPsięta, do. Tearing the plants out by hand is easy in most areas, thanks to their shallow roots. It also gives me a chance to think and not remove the few other plants that goldenrod was suppressing. Even the nettles. Nettles are stingy, but nice.
