Facts of Life

Fact #1.

Insects have discovered my raspberries.

These greasy bugs are sucking the juice out of the raspberries' individual drupelets, leaving a patch of dried-up skin and hard seed. 

It's unappetizing, unsanitary, 

and, I think,

rude.

Fact #2.

Arachnids are helping me deal with Fact #1.

This is an orb weaver.  She has eight eyes.  May they help her in her quest to snack on raspberry thieves.

This is the air I breathe..........your holy presence living in me.      

This is my daily bread.........your very word spoken to me.    

and I am desperate for you

and I am lost without you
