groudhog, forcefully relocated

my friend the groundhog has been relocated. forcefully relocated. somehow he managed to bypass the 8-ft-tall fence that ed built and got into the garden. he ate almost all the carrots and parsley.... ed and shandra were not pleased.
so in this picture, you can see him in the have-a -heart trap, just before ed drove him 5 miles away from our house and dropped him off in the woods.

a few days ago, i was getting some collard greens ready to cook, when i notice this pretty little caterpillar on the back of one of the leaves. i spent quite some time admiring it and taking pictures of it, before placing it in the compost and continuing with my cooking.


and finally, look at all this beautiful food... (this was at the last women's circle)
