I've leapt into a worm hole. A time warp. Perhaps some kind of little cubbie in space. Whatever it is, I swear I'm only getting 3-4 days out of a week! Unsettling.
We've been working on the land. Currently, we're turning the lower meadow into an aquarium. Two or three more days of rain, and I think we'll be ready to bring in the sharks and rays. Pretty exciting.
We've also hired Zeus' Tree Trimming and Electrical Service to handle those pesky dead limbs we can't quite reach. A few more storms and we should have that all cleared out, too. (If the storms and rain coincide nicely, we could have everything done by the end of April.) Now if I could harness some random force of nature to actually plant the blueberry bushes and nut trees. And mulch the back yard.
In the meantime, the wasp hives are churning out new generations of wasps quicker than anyone would ever have thought imaginable! (said in a rather tense, squeaky voice) Our hope is that once we get the hang of raising wasps, bees shouldn't scare us a bit. And, just for the record, "Organic" is a lousy way to kill things. I'm on a hunt for some Organic Agent Orange, or Organic Sarin Spray, perhaps. That'd be handy.
Eh. *shrug* Stranger things have happened.
And that's 'bout it, here. Baseball keeps getting rained out (hence, our new aquaculture program in the lower meadow). I *heart* Amazon, and am looking forward to next year's literature winging its way here, box by smiling box. Tomorrow's going to be psychotically busy. And today looks to be just beautiful!
Kiss those babies!

Bees are great - don't kill the bees!
And even wasps have their purpose, but I hate them and avoid them and I do kill them.
However... my cousin sent his daughter to Georgetown to college and paid her tuition by locating and selling hornets' nests to pharmaceutical companies. So maybe you could do the same for your kids with wasps' nests if you continue to raise wasps!
Ha ha...Zeus' Tree Trimming Service!
Maybe Ceres' Gardening Supplies would have the organic agent orange or you could call The Melampus Pest Control Service and he could just whisper those wasps away.
If Jake was there he'd probably (and very unwisely) hit the hive with a stick. Perhaps long range target practice might encourage them to go elsewhere? Well, unless they're on your house...

LOL, Laura. We hope to get bees! It's the wasps I want to go away. There are three or four different types, and they are *everywhere* - in the barn, in the eaves of the house, on the back patio, the compost... *shudder*
Mere - ROFL!!
I've heard that flameflowers work wonders on wasp nests. My high school history teacher was fond of the "Get an M80" wasp removal method himself...
