Watching Paint Dry I am sitting in the college library as I await for my to finish his GED testing. Finally, I have a few minutes to myself on a computer with internet. I am blessed to have a nice caramel frappe by my side! Life has been hectic to say the least and this morning was about as much fun as watching paint dry but yet for each crisis, God provides some how, some way and everything works out fine. I haven't had any time for blogging or really interacting with many of my friends lately. Between a hectic work schedule and the punkenstein, I am grateful to get to sleep. But alas, my is my first mission field and the job is God's provision for us. Even when I am not here to say it, I miss everyone at BC tremendously (well except for that weirdo guy over in the corner) and y'all remain in my prayers. Tomorrow is yet another day and another battle. I will be going up against some major opponents.... ANTS!! I bought a big ole bag of poison and borrowed my parent's spreader. Watch out Ants, here we come! I am taking back my yard and God is on my side! Happy Weekend y'all! |

Good to see you! I fight ants around here all summer! My next door neighbor has a huge antbed in her front yard every year and they come over to my yard. This year I took antkiller and dumped it on her ant bed!  Hopefully, your life will settle down some and you can do more blogging with us. GBY! LYS! May God Bless You in ABUNDANCE

Corrie you can put the poison on the ant hill. Then wait for them to take it all down in...they will do that. Then when it's all in there water it. Kills them ALL. They don't run and make a new hill. Then you don't have to poison your whole yard, and kill the bugs that are good for your soil. But I know your probably just gonna poison the whole yard lol. You are in Texas now where ya do everything BIG!    "Love is Patient..."

This year I took antkiller and dumped it on her ant bed! Hopefully, your life will settle down some and you can do more blogging with us. GBY! LYS! She is in her 90s and her family has home health people there around the clock but the neighbor on the other side does her lawn (as well as mine). He is the one who found the massive ant hill between my home and the elderly lady's. We are going to do all three yards today together so they won't have anywhere to on the other side of us or die and the elderly woman will be totally protected. I warned the family to my left that I was going to do it. They just finished doing their yard yesterday when I came home. I really love that my neighbors can all do this together in one weekend so we aren't just pushing these ants back and forth to one another. God bless you PJ and your fight with the dreaded ants!

So far, I haven't seen any weirdo-ish behavior out of you. Do you bark and growl when the neighbors come over? Do you bury rotten food in your yard so you can dig it up for leftovers later? Do you plan your vacations around Starbucks locations? Oh wait, that last one is me! LOL Merciful to ants? Oh, you are much nicer than I am. Is telling them first the same as shouting, "Die Die Die" outloud as I spread the poison on the yard? I sure hope their demise is quick but I was not aware that ants feel pain. How does one know these things? Was there another one of those overpriced government funded studies like the one on cows releasing methane gas that has brought this info to light? Oh, you leave me so full of questions!!

I recall shooting this picture of the underside of a bridge once. I was down in the tall grass focusing my shot when I felt a variety of stinging pains up and down my legs. I quickly discovered my pants were crawling with ants. I made a beeline back to my car as I was trying to swat the buggers off my pant legs. I drove as fast I could back to my office as the ants were biting my legs from inside my pant legs. By the time I got there, I stripped off the pants outside my car and ran into the office bathroom/darkroom in just my undies, much to my publisher's surprise! Thank God, I worked in an office comprised primarily of females. My publisher saw I had thrown my pants off outside and went to investigate as I was bathing my legs in a large oversized sink that I used to wash my prints (photos) at the time. She said the pants were crawling with red fire ants inside and out when she picked them up to shake them out. I think the bookkeeper even grabbed the hand held dust buster to try to vacuum them off. We also used it on my car as well. I had welts covering my legs for weeks! Marcus, I can bet that's nothing really new for you in your job. I bet you get bit a lot!
