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!

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!
