STORM2K

day for a wasp to get in my house and chase me around.

Wierd you would say that. It was the first day I saw a wasp this year too!!

On the last day of winter I saw:

1. Several red wasps building a nest in an old fence post beside my barn.
2. While putting up fence posts I saw a black snake slithering quickly away (thankfully) after I startled him almost as much as he did me .

Nothing unusual happened on the first day of spring. I got enough surprises the day before

What a sight that would be Kelly, I can picture it now....hehehe

Bzzzzzzzz Bzzzzzzzz Bzzzzzzzzz

We visited our friends who were in town from Illinois and there were fireworks at the place they were staying. How's that for welcoming in spring.

No wasps here, but the bees are busy doing their work on our orange blossoms.

Cute headband.

RUN !

I'll shoot it with my phaser....


Sorry Kelly, your hair should grow back in a year or 2.

Wasps!!! Can we go back to winter? Them little insects are ugly looking.

I don't have a phaser, but a can of WD40 and a lighter work real good.


(just kidding)


Hit 'em with hairspray, they drop like a rock.

ROFL Kelly!!!

Yeah, it's a sight alright. No doubt I'd win the big money on America's Funniest Home Videos if I got on while a wasp (or bumblebee) or a cockroach got near me. I go crazy...and those around me usually get quite a laugh.

I've done some embarrassing things when one of those "creatures" landed on me.

Well you wanna know my phobia well you just said it! Bee's. UGH.
Geez i hope for a early taste of warmth that last atleast a week so they will come out and then have another HARD freeze to whack them all out. Well most of them anyways. This place here is full of them in the summer. Its awfull.

You and me both well bee's anyway's.

I got stung by a bee once...you talk about pain...well, that was bad for me (especially since I was a second grader at the time)! However it is nothing compared to nearly losing your life!

About the same age that i have ever been stung as well but what was worse was it nailed me in the ear and i dove into the pool where i was at and that thing still kept buzzing away.

Yeah, how it happened was that the thing was on the grips I use to propel myself...and when I put my hand down...YEOW! Then I started running around, screaming my head off, and who could blame me? That, to me at the time, was pain!

I was once stung 97 times. Talk about ruining your day..... I tripped over a log that was home to a huge nest of the darned buggers. No water to dive into, so I ran into the house....Oops, now we had bees in the house. I had to soak in a tub of baking soda and water for quite awhile, while my Mom was trying to shoo the bees out of the house. It hurt to laugh, but she sounded so funny doing that....hehehe

But the really odd thing is that I am not one bit afraid of bees to this day. I just give them the respect they deserve.

Not too many bugs up this way yet... temperatures still in the 30's today... but I imagine come late May when the "Brood X" cicadas arrive here I'll get more than my share... a lot more, in fact . I was looking up info. about them on the 'net yesterday and discovered that a single acre of land can produce up to 1.5 million cicadas in a matter of days when the invasion begins :/.

Oh geez, I hate wasps. They terrify me. There are times when I won't come outside at all if I see a yellow jacket or anything else that stings.

LOL, I walked out of the door at the office, on
Friday, to soak in some of the 70° temps, and,
what was the first thing to greet me?

A WASP!

Yikes!! RUuuuunnn!!! It must be Spring!
