Ants help clean my floor

For years, spring means the start of ant season. In the old days I used to kill them. But since becoming a Buddhist, I just think of them as pets. Sure I occasionally scoop them up with a bug vac and take them outside when things get bad, but in the meantime, I have collected a number of media examples of ant industry. There’s something really satisfying about seeing the ants reduce a piece of popcorn to a skeleton or shlep a big piece of something across the floor. If you agree, I hope you find this collection inspiring.

I may add more videos as I get them, so bookmark this page and visit again some time, ant lovers. 🙂

A red-breasted robin

My kid pointed this bird out to me. She said she’d never seen one before, but I know for a fact she had, because a few years ago we saw a red-breasted robin pulling a worm out of the earth in our backyard. I wouldn’t forget such a quintessential cliché.

See it? On top of the shed.
