Many times I have worked in the yard with a book on tape in my ear. Right now I have too many decisions to make about the yard to be distracted by books or music. I have to listen to my yard. It helps to have a 5 year old near by to share the excitement. What will we plant to attract butterflies and bees and birds and lizards?
Bees were swarming my elms in January. The unusually warm weather had produced an early bloom. Ants aren't a big problem right now, must be too cold. The grubs I've unearthed are motionless and still they unnerve me. We are seeing lots of lady bugs and little caterpillars on the weeds. A white moth is flying around.
The little guys I call them. It shames me to say I haven't given them much thought until recently. At the lectures we learned that ants outweigh humans on earth. We're outnumbered. I think it's time I pay attention.
