This morningʼs promenade in the garden revealed a sleeping bee and a baby pepper.

A butterfly came to visit my garden tonight. Itʼs called a common buckeye, but to me itʼs most uncommon, because I donʼt get very many butterflies.
I decided to see why the holes in my Swiss cheese plant are so much larger than they should be, and found this little guy curled up in the garden.
I guess I should squish him or spray him or something. But I think Iʼll just let him have the plant. I can grow another. And the world needs butterflies more than I need yet another plant. Plus, birds gotta eat, too!
I shall call him “Herman.”
Ever meet someone who would not take “no” for an answer? Ever meet a bug like that?
This hairy fellow would not leave me alone. I could have squashed him easily enough, but the birds gotta eat, too. So I just kept moving him to other parts of the picnic table. And every time I did, heʼd come right back and try to read my book with me.
There are more creatures living in this eight-ounce, two-day-old mud puddle than in my entire seventeen-story apartment building.
Nature finds a way.
Every once in a while Las Vegas is invaded by locusts.
There were 37 on the door when I got to work yesterday. Plus eleven more in the lunch room and nine in the hall.
Imagine that. A plague of locusts descending on a city of sinners in the desert. Sounds appropriately Biblical.
One of the bugs in my code has escaped, and is crawling up the wall.
Strange. They have the same sign at my lawyerʼs office.
