This morning, I decided to go out and tend to the backyard for a little bit before it got too hot - watered the plants and did some weeding.  But the closer I got to each organism, the more fascinating each became.  I saw the different patterns in each moss species, distinguished the leaves of the weeds vs. the budding blueberry shoots, and wondered if perhaps weeds could serve a useful purpose to an eco-system.  The snap peas were beginning to burst forth through the white petals, and some of the blueberries are ripening.  I found a tiny neon orange gooey-looking beetle (quite fashion forward) and watched a lonely bumblebee push through the pea flowers to look for nectar.  I wished it well as it flew on, sad that we didn't have more flowers for it to search through.  We need more nature.
