a big bug

I found something else in Grandma's magical backyard. It was...

a bug!

an Oakley bug. sitting with the Grandma bug.

this bug was also seen eating blackberries, trying to pick up deer droppings, holding as many rocks as possible, and splashing in hose water.... shirtless.

Grandma's backyard

 Grandma's backyard seems quite ordinary at first sight:  green foliage, broken down fences, shroud of trees, etc...  However, in just a few minutes, with a closer investigation I rediscovered why I so loved growing up in this backyard.
