Professor Malcolm made this proclamation about dinosaurs in Jurassic Park and I find myself repeating it when I find little bits of life in the most unlikely places.

This fall has been unusually warm giving more time than usual to put the yard to bed. I got the chance to mow up some leaves, leaving a nice clean yard for spring breakup, but found this little gem hiding in the leaves and grasses along the side of the maintained yard.

Such a treasure to find on a beautiful clear crisp day.
