Oh, and how was the Cobbler, you might ask - well, it must have been good, since there aren't any pictures of it. That's right, all eaten before we even remembered we had a camera.

How Was The Cobbler?

That is a mean looking varmint meat. Hope it's gone by now. Glad you enjoyed your cobbler!
ReplyDeleteThat was supposed to say nest not "meat." sometimes I hate the auto-correct.
ReplyDeleteHi Sanda - It actually does look mean. Pretty funny that your auto-correct said "meat", since I was thinking this morning that I could probably lure these wasps away with a piece of bacon and get the nest down while they're feasting on it. I think the auto-correct (and lack of mechanical keyboard) is the reason that a lot of businesses keep their Blackberry's instead of changing to iPhone's. You can send silly stuff to friend and it cute and funny. But for clients, especially since an email can be construed as a contract in some places, you need the right word the first time.
ReplyDeleteSo has the landlord arrived?
ReplyDeleteI had to run outside and check before I could answer - no landlord action yet. There are actual three nests, and one got knocked down yesterday. Some of those cute Mormon missionaries came by and really wanted to knock the one in the picture down, so I let them. I'm not Mormon, but I feed anyone's hungry boys, so they know where to come. I had fresh Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies to trade for Pest Control.
ReplyDeleteI once ran over a wasp nest when moving the lawn in SLC. I had no idea they ever nested on the ground - or maybe it fell out of a tree, I don't know. I had on baggy shorts, and they went straight for the inside thigh. I ran for the garage with them following, just like in a cartoon - only I wasn't laughing - I shut most out, then went in the kitchen with only one still following. I got it with a can of bug spray. I called a friend to ask her to check on me later that day - I had no idea whether I was allergic or not. She gave me a great tip: make a paste of meat tenderizer (I had Adolph's around) and water and put it on the stings. Whatever breaks down the tough meat fiber also breaks down wasp venom. It did help a lot - and fortunately I wasn't allergic. It took me a while to get the nerve to go shut off the lawn mower, mind!
