One thing you have to be prepared for when having an organic garden are those you’ll be sharing it with.  And discovering them when you least expect it.

Sure, you might think your vegetables are for eating–something to add to your salad, to sauté for tonight’s dinner–but for others, it’s home.

When I harvest vegetables from the garden and find these little creatures, seeing them makes me smile and I brush them out gently, realizing that they have every right to be there.
