I’m at the house, standing between the garage and yard, in that doorway. I have a small table set up and am repotting a plant. My gaze is caught by something moving on the fence, something almost the same color. I focus on it and see that it's a Jerusalem cricket, larger than normal, maybe the size of a rabbit, crawling up the fence. I step forward to take a picture of it and then notice an assortment of creatures behind me, that I guess had been there the whole time, I realize with some discomfort. There’s a spider on the table and two creatures on top of the open door, the door at about a 30 degree angle, the creatures poking out from the slight opening. I thought they were spiders too, but now I think they’re birds? (hawklike). I just feel a little creeped out that everything was so close to me.
*I’ve been wanting to repot the succulent and other things, and I’ve been thinking about the fungus gnats in the plants as well as all the extra critters this season.
