Ok, first things first. You all expressed so much interest in the “new friend” that I mentioned in the last post that I just had to tell you what a strange experience that turned out to be. He was a nice enough guy who just so happened to think that using 150 adjectives in every single sentence might be the best way to communicate. For instance, this was one of his lines: “I am sweetly interested in the conversational pleasures of women.” What the WHAT?!?! I tried giving him the benefit of the doubt, even gently suggesting that he tone it down a notch or a hundred, but it didn’t quite sink in. So it’s a “NO” from me, Piers.
I’m still putting myself out there and hopefully will find a normal guy soon. But in the meantime, my friend Kim lent me her hubby, John for some winterizing at my home. He was in the process of weeding and mulching my flower beds when he (or more precisely, Kim’s son Bailey) noticed a large number of wasps flying in and out of the sprinkler box in my flower bed. John was brave enough to pry open the box and this is what he found.
That certainly qualifies as the biggest hive I’ve ever seen in my life. Needless to say, there was a tiny itty bitty swarm-like event, and a little bit of screaming and grown men and women running for their life. But when all was said and done, the abandoned hive ended up being a fascinating thing to look at.
Thanks, John and Bailey, for finding it and destroying it!
that thing I said with all the adjectives.
that was a freeky thing and i have the ebby jeebees thinking about all those bees
That is scary (the hive).
I miss you too.
It’s been over a month since you last wrote here. Are you okay?
