I am doing better. Still so darn tired. I had a couple of errands to do yesterday and then slept for 14 hours. Geez...can't seem to gain any ground.
Here's a bit of excitement going on here!
Saturday when DH's brother arrived, we noticed a hornet's nest hanging in my favorite Cherry tree in the front yard. Upon further inspection, it was discovered to be a bald-faced hornet's nest. Not just any ordinary hornet, but those bad-*** ones! Of course, DH and I are both highly allergic (we both carry epi-pens for these guys!).
The nest has now tripled in size since Saturday night - it is about a foot long and at least that much in diameter - think soccer ball size, maybe larger!
This mission has been on to try to find a pest control company to come get this thing. No one wants to deal with these bad guys.
Lo and behold! Terminix called me back last night and said they take care of hornets. I was doubtful as this was thier "corporate line."
Their local office just called me back this morning and I explained to the the technician just exactly what they were up against and she said she would call me right back. They agreed to come out and take care of it and guarantee it would not come back! So for a mere $342 and a one year contract for all my yard and house --- she agreed to that before she asked me how big my yard was
, I said you got it Lady! Then we talked particulars about the size of my house and yard. I got a good deal.
I can't even go outside to that part of the yard, which is where my berries are right now and they are ready to be picked! Darnnit...
I want a picture of this big ol' nest before they remove it. It's huge. But I can't get close enough to get one. These types of hornets have sentries and it's the sentries that get you. And with my luck...we won't go there!
This is what the nest looks like except this one isn't mine.
