A pair of robins kept me company in the garden today. Somewhere they have learned that weeding often uncovers some tasty treats for them, and they were fearless in their companionship. They were also right-- I dug up a bunch of grubs, and although I personally wished them no harm, I knew they would not be beneficial to my future crops. And so I sacrificed them to the robins, tossing them just a few yards away where they were quickly consumed and died not in vain, but rather in service to the food chain.
Or so I like to think.
