We didn't know how good we had it last year.
We were fat with caterpillars.
We took those little 'pillars for granted, we did.
This year we planted our dill and our parsley and we waited for the caterpillars to show up. We checked everyday and we were disappointed. Nary a caterpillar was to be found. Maybe they found a new place to graze?
Then one morning I happened to be looking out the kitchen window and I saw a cardinal couple perch on the edge of the garden and they were helping themselves. Plucking our babies off the dill!
We kept a watchful eye after that and managed to find two and bring them into the safety of our mason jar.
One will be adopted by the neighbor, Kinzie and we will lovingly watch over our other little refugee.
Curse the cardinals!
