Ow

Turned on the water to water the tomatoes, leaning over the hose winder. The hornets who have decided to next in the hose minder took umbrage and stung me 3 times, finger, arm and back. We'll have a discussion about renter perogatives and privacy a little after dark.

With a stick.

Ow!

Ouch! Sorry!! Ice helps.

Say did you know there is a spray that's non-toxic to the environment that you can use to get 'em from a distance? Psychic_frog's store probably has it in stock.

I pulled out a 30 year old window air conditioner today. There were two wasp nests and a large and very lively black widow in there. My helper and I did not get stung or bitten, luckily.

Home is a dangerous place.

Ooh, sorry to hear that. A paste of baking soda + water is also soothing.

Good luck negotiating with your renters. I hope they are receptive and don't try any retribution!

Get rid of the hornets, I said.
I kinda like them around, he said.
Things sting and hurt, I said.
Hey, we're in their environment, he said, while drilling out more holes for them to live in at his house.
You're a little crazy, I observed.
Hey, I gotta be me, he shouted over the drill.
In the distance, I watched the tiny circling stinging things buzzing through the afternoon sky. Very zen, I thought.

riiiiiight...

the holes? Full of carpenter bees, away from the house.

The wasps? Living in the hose winder, right by the front door. Well, they were...now they're occupying wasp heaven. And wasps eat flies and mosquitos.

Have fun at Pennsic!

Maybe they were drawn in by 'the spores'?
