As I was walking home from Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament I heard a lot of songbirds singing in a big tree. Then two squirrels ran into my view on the sidewalk and they started fighting. One black and one grey. Of course I was rooting for the grey squirrel. The grey squirrel won in a quick victory after a moment of acrobatics. Then the grey squirrel chased the black one away. And I shouted out to the black one "Go back to Kew Gardens" then I thought better of myself and said "I don't want you in Kew Gardens either". After the black one ran away another grey squirrel stood up proudly as if in salute. I thought it was a sign of victory. Then I went home.

I am getting fond of Eucharistic Adoration at the local parishes. I feel that God is there, and going does not show my support for the post Vatican II changes. It is just adoring Our Lord who I believe to be truly present. I do not think the Novus Ordo is always invalid anymore or that by visiting the Blessed Sacrament it is approving of the modernists who are trying to destroy the Church (as if that were possible); I am showing my devotion to the Lord Our God. It must be wonderful to live near a traditional chapel with Adoration and Benediction where everything is done in the traditional way.

How about this?

Most spiders are harmless, and if you mind your business they mind theirs. And their business is to get rid of the really nasties, like cockroaches, ants, mossies
I got bit by a spider a couple of weeks ago in my bedroom, I didn't do a damn thing to it. Gave me a big welt on my shoulder.
Damn thing still itches.
I also been stung by bees for no reason and I'm allergic. I can be killed by one of these little winged devils if things don't go right.
I don't like bugs or insects or spiders or any other litter critter that comes in arm's reach of me and if it does, it's lights out for it. I'm not taking any chances. These creatures are not here to make our life any better IMO. But the do serve a purpose I suppose, but make no mistake, they can and will make your life miserable for no reason at all other than you exist in their world.
I'm not one of these people who believe's " Nature's our friend". Far from it actually. Nature is always on the attack against man, just think how long you would last living out there in the "open doors" with lovely nature with no shelter or protection. Just think of how many people die each year from bug bites, insect bites, snake bites and animal attacks. Nature is out there to eliminate you, not live in peace. Including spiders.
No, spiders are far from harmless and nature is not your friend, my friend.

Two days ago while walking home from Kew Gardens, I witnessed a battle between sparrows and ugly pigeons. It was in a field enclosed by a fence. I saw the sparrows lined up in rows and the ugly pigeons were all in a jumble. It was like watching a football game. The sparrows were swift and ran circles around the pigeons and the pigeons had to retreat despite being so much larger than the sparrows. They all flew away except for one who was kept prisoner. I don't like ugly city pigeons. I like sparrows. I am only a child. I like going for walks and looking at the flowers and the birds and the butterflies and the bees and the ants. They are my friends.
You mention the pigeons and the squirrels, I think you make an interesting observation. I've had to deal with pigeons for years in the city with my work, they're really a disgusting creature, they beg and harass you for food constantly, complete nuisance  and crap all over the place, which is very toxic. I have no use pigeons, two-legged, feathered parasites in my opinion.
As for the squirrels, I worked in one the crappiest neighborhoods in the Bronx years ago, there was garbage and trash all over the streets and sidewalks amongst a bunch of condemned houses with noise, pollution and drugs everywhere. a real blight within the city. And one thing I noticed besides the occasional rat scurrying by were these big black squirrels, they were everywhere. I've never seen them before or since I left that dump. I always thought that was strange. You may be on to something.
