a healthy ecosystem

do bugs bother you? me? not so much. they are a sign of a vital and healthy ecosystem. and important protein for birds (including baby sandhill cranes :-).  we have a 13 year old dog that likes to wonder in and out of the house all summer long. he never leaves the yard. so i prop the door open with a rock, and let him come and go at will. but the open door means a lot of bugs get in the house. it’s worth it (to me). the bugs that don’t find their way back out, end up dying under the windows.  and turned into STILL art.
