Nature And Balance
This planet is a wonderful place and when possible, nature likes to keep it in balance.
For example, we had A LOT of caterpillars this year, too much for the plants to handle.
And the plants didn’t have to handle the caterpillars because the hornets and the yellowjackets swooped in. They brought the caterpillars home to their nests to feed their offspring.
The birds, in turn, keep the hornet and yellowjacket population down.
We also had A LOT of pillbugs in our area of the world.
The little brown spiders moved in to keep their population in check.
With the climate changing, the Mafia Squirrels are now having THREE litters of babies every year. (In the past, they would have one litter.)
The hawks and the crows ensure we’re not overrun with squirrels.
This world is an amazing place. The more we learn about how it works, the more amazing it becomes.

Encourage Another Being Today
(We didn’t take a photo of the hornet. This is a photo of a bumblebee on the zinnia plant taken last year.)
We found a hornet in our bathroom. She had likely overwintered in the walls somewhere and then had exited the wrong way, going deeper into our home instead of leaving it.
She was moving VERY slowly. We thought she was dying.
But the Dear Wonderful Hubby gently captured her and we took her outside. We released her in the rose bed, in the sun, by some greenery.
Moments later, she flew off.
A few more moments passed and we spotted her happily flying and landing around the front yard, exploring the grasses, and terrain.
She hadn’t been dying.
She had been tired.
And discouraged.
(Because she couldn’t figure out how to escape our bathroom.)
We all need encouragement and help from time to time. This is especially true now.
If that is you today, know that you CAN survive this. You CAN tackle any bad situation. You ARE loved and you make this world a much better place.
Don’t give up!
