I just came from the garage where I have 3 layers of worms and kitchen vegetable matter composting in my worm factory. I’ve never seen so many worms! I won’t let them in my laundry room anymore, not since they escaped all over the house! I didn’t know worms could move so fast and far.

I used to have several homemade ant farms on my kitchen dresser. Instead of watching television during a meal, we watched the ants. My son used flexible platic tubes to let the ants go from one ant city to another. We also learned that different species of ants don’t like each other and will fight over territory.

I have three spider friends who live near the kitchen faucet. I don’t have the heart to send them outdoors during the winter months, so we just live with each other.

My friends and family think I am gross, but life is too interesting to get “grossed out.” Insects, spiders and worms are fascinating.
