This time of year always brings out the ladybugs. Whyever in the world they all come to my house, I can't figure out. You'd think it was their annual convention or something. I was outside today, and they were crawling down my blouse, landing in my hair, and just generally irritating me. Queen Mother told me that a ladybug bit a man friend on the jaw. I didn't know they bite, did you?
And, at this very moment, I am hearing a mouse just beyond my feet under my desk munching on some goodies left today by Sheila the Bug Lady. No kidding. I've got the heebeejeebees crawling up and down my arms and legs. Iiiiiiiiiick! But, I'm letting that little sucker eat the good stuff. *cringe*
With all the things I need to do this week, I forgot the exterminator was coming today. I remembered this morning. Sewing put aside, everything had to come out of the cabinets and closets. Tonight, it all goes back in and the floors get mopped.
So, in a little trailer space in the country by the woods with pets, kids, friends, and thus-and-such, there's bound to be creepy things that go bump in the night - raccoons, skunks, coyotes, mice, owls. Just not in the house. Please. By the way, there's a big yellow moon on the rise.
Y'all have a pest-free evening.
See you in the funny papers.
I see where Brin gets her writing talents!

Evenin' my dear. I'm still up, too. Tony's out of town & it makes it hard for me to sleep. In answer to your question about the county extension agent, no i have not called them. Probably should tho. Good idea. It's become a kind of game to see who can win at this. It gives me a great deal of satisfaction to pull a trap out of the hole with a dead gopher on it, hold it up to one and all, beat myself on the chest and do a Tarzan yell to announce my victory. Chalk another one up to the Lady Gopher Killer!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, that little swizzle of water is def not a lake, just a pond. But if it looks like a lake and walks like a lake and quacks like a lake then it must a lake.
can you tell i'm getting goo-goo eyed? guess I should probably try to get some shut eye. I enjoy visitin' with ya. Hope things go well for your mom, Debbie. I'll be thinking about her.
Yes, they do bite. They don't have fangs or anything, but they do irritate. And they have a terrible smell if you swat them! My dog won't even roll on one of those!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet offer to bring me pumpkin. You Texas girls! How about driving up here and I'll make yall a pie!
