I’ve done nothing this week but edit and read. Doesn’t leave
much to blog about, huh?
Oh, and watch hockey—Go Pens!! If they win tonight, they
move on to the next round. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to watch the game. We
have tickets to see the Dragons tonight. And of course, it’s expected to rain.
Couldn’t have weather like we did yesterday (sunny and in the 80s), oh no. It
could be worse, I suppose. It could be COLD. Guess I won’t complain too much,
then.
Our carpenter bumble bees have returned. Used to be one.
Last year it was two. Now there are three. They love to fly around my mail box
and since I don’t care for the creatures, I have to either beg someone else to
get the mail or wait until the sun sets. There’s always a price for warmer
weather, though. Isn’t there? **Grumble**
I know most of us had a miserable winter and have looked
forward to the warmer weather, but what do you HATE about warmer weather? Me?
Bugs. YUCK!!
Have a great weekend.

Bees generally don't bother me, but I'd probably try to keep them from buzzing there. They can be destructive on wood.
Spray a bug killer around the mailbox when they're not there. That should deter them from coming back or at least moving somewhere less lethal.
Maria - I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
There are other things in life besides editing and reading?
Really?
Stacy,
Those carpenter bees are the worst. Good luck in getting rid of them.
What dragons are you watching?
Hawks are on tonight after the Penguins. Looks like a great hockey night.
Raid Bee and Wasp Killer should take care of those nasties! My least favorite part of summer is the humidity. I suppose I could move...
R Mac - There's taking pictures, right?
Bonnie - Dayton Dragons. They're the Single A team of the Cincinnati Reds.
Jennette - I don't mind the humidity as much as I mind the bugs. That's why you won't see me living in Florida (sorry, R Mac!). Of course moving is out of the question. Our kids are here. Now, if THEY moved...
Yeah. I'd have to say bugs, too. I got my first mosquito bite today. bleh. We had carpenter bees trying to inhabit our front door frame. I sprayed the hole with insect repellent and then while they were confused, I whacked them with a flyswatter. Then I shoved a plastic thingie in the hole. Not optimal, but no more bees outside the door either.
Since I didn't have to work prep this winter, it really made winter go by super fast for me.
We have bees I think similar to what yours are. We call them boring bees. If it's the same bees, they are friendly here.
They even liked to tease our last dog. They would bump her in the butt and then fly around, make her nuts and then bump her in the bum again.
And if we went outside they would fry in front of us, as if to say, Hello, and then go off and play.
You know what is great for carpenter bees? Those big, wide plastic kiddie baseball bats.
You can knock those suckers out of the park.
B.E. - I wish I knew WHERE these bees were coming from. We've had some live in our garage where we used to live and my husband spackled all the holes. You could hear the buzzing in the walls for awhile after. Yuck!!!
Ivy - If your boring bees look like big bumblebees, then they're probably the same. I refuse to play with them, though. Besides, these just seem to attack whenever I get close. I stay away!
Michael - My son did something really similar using the lid to the garbage can!
I hate when my palms get sticky from heat. Bleah!
Jeff - Humidity tends to do that, doesn't it?
