I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but this is a backyard habitat so
I love having all of these things. I don't use any pesticides,
organic or otherwise and so far, so good. I wrote an article for a
Buddhist magazine which may be published. If it is I'll let you know.
I should get my website back up to show people how leaving a property
alone for three years, an amazing thing happens...it balances out and
does very well.

I never thought about the other living things - snakes, chipmunks, birds,
bees/wasps, butterflies, dragonflies... My daughter too.

Oh and lots of stepping stones.
