We have to deal with squirrels gnawing our wires, and spiders coming in during the mating season (Autumn). <br /><br />Richard: Nature is red in beak and talon. ;) <br /><br />LSM: I'm glad!

Basically, they stay outside the house! I suppose I am lucky to be in a position to have this rule. I have a garden and feed the birds every day. I am friends with the cat up the road (although he doesn't count me as one of his pride yet. You know how choosy cats are!) and I pat my customers' dogs. <br /><br />However, when I went to have some of the chocolate cake my daughter had made for us the other day, and, upon opening the tin I found that some ants had made it their home in it then, I am afraid, I became extremely territorial and intolerant. (Or should that be intolerAnt?) The whole lot went straight into the recycling bin from where, I guess, the ants will meet a fiery end.<br /><br />Ants at the end of the garden, fine, they make a good snack for the Woodpecker.

Thanks! And I was always a fan of Lowly Worm, too, and worms in the garden. It was just too much fun to give my poor mom a hard time, plus I didn't want to tread on any worms during their jailbreaks. <br /><br />Tanita: I hope the Universe does just that. There are blinds to be replaced, a metal railing sunk into concrete that somehow got broken prior to our acquisition of the house and is currently bound by duct tape, a bathroom that still needs to be finished (baseboards), plus we need to build shelves. Also, I want big things bolted to the wall because we're in earthquake territory. I suppose it's time to repaint the walls, too, and varnish the floor where there's been too much friction. A worm bin is just a stone's throw away!Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532215042953620628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-63641253726238573242010-04-22T10:34:59.638-07:002010-04-22T10:34:59.638-07:00I think I would have cried if they'd died.

We wanted to do this years ago, but we never owned a house with a yard/garden (our townhouse had a teensy yard, but we thought we'd wait for our real "someday" house.)<br /><br />...still thinking SOMEDAY!<br /><br />And HAH! Just for saying that, the Universe is now going to make sure all of your other household tasks get finished up so you can have WORMS!!!tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-44016585837995393562010-04-22T07:32:16.739-07:002010-04-22T07:32:16.739-07:00I am actually rather fond of my own worms...presci...I am actually rather fond of my own worms...prescious litle composters that they are. So my sympathies are with your mother! Although I am not quite sure I would want them inside. <br /><br />Have you and Lucia ever read Owly? It is a lovely wordless graphic novel about an Owl and his little Worm buddy. <br /><br />And I also have always liked Richard Scary's Lowly Worm very much.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.com
