Bugland

I mowed some of my lawn today. My lawn is about 1.75 acres. Imagine every lawn you ever mowed in your life all at once. With a push-mower. It's a lot of lawn.

The caterpillars are out. They eat my pear and cherry trees. They get in the tomatoes. They congregate on the front porch. The lazy, freeloading bastards. I try not to step on them, but they eat the welcome mat too, and they're hard to see there. Stupid bugs.

The slugs came out for the rain. They leave neat slime trails.

Paper wasps abound. They really seem to enjoy my company.
