I'm having troubles with Blogger, and I don't know if it is because I post using my phone sometimes or what, but if you read my last post (or tried to) you may be wondering why I can't seem to break my thoughts up into paragraphs. Well, I can, but blogger so helpfully decided it didn't like paragraphs and no matter what I do in edit, I cannot fix that post!
What's a girl supposed to do about that??
Anyway...moving on....
The temperature and the humidity finally moderated a little bit and everyone is breathing a little better outside today. It would of been very nice to be able to stay outside and work in the yard today. Maybe even finish up the fire pit. I ate my breakfast outside of yogurt and a biscuit just watching the world, and watching a mole hill move suspiciously. I did not let D know it was twitching, as he would of likely tried to kill the little creature. Most do not have the respect of living things like I do. In my opinion, it isn't posing any kind of danger to me or mine, and thus I can happily co-exist with it and instead just watched fascinated as I'd never actually seen one in action though it's trails are all over the yard.
Someday I will have my own little farmette, and it will be friendly to creatures great and small. Many I know think I'm positively bonkers for enjoying things like moths, bees, mice, moles, bears, etc.etc.etc. But they all do have a place on this earth, and I would find this world burdensome and boring without other creatures to share it with. To me, they are fascinating and deserve to enjoy the circle of life like the rest of us. Perhaps more deserving then us humans, who seem hell-bent on destroying the gifts of this world.That's not to say I oppose things like hunting and fishing and farming, what I oppose is being disrespectful and wasteful of the resources. I oppose killing indescriminently, killing for sport or fashion, or killing just because someone is scared of what they don't understand when simple commonsense precautions can be taken. For instance city coyotes that people fear. Coyotes don't attack people. Coyotes won't bother you if you keep a close eye on little fufu, coyotes won't bother you if you keep your chickens contained, and they won't bother you if you bother to put your lids on your garbage cans. But nope. People would rather go on killing sprees to slaughter them en mass. Pretty pathetic and lazy if you ask me. I don't oppose farming, but I oppose using masses of chemicals to do it, that get into air, water, and kill plants and animals, including the helpful ones. I oppose farms so large, that tons of fossil fuels must be used to till, plant, and harvest. It isn't healthy of sustainable. But, apparently, I'm just a peacenik dreamer.
