I live on a creek....actually it runs right next to the drive and the drive right next to the house and I think maybe snakes help keep the spiders down...course I have noticed Lily is pretty good at hunting but what I notice more about that is the bugs that fly in at night when I open the door to let the King out! I was bitten many, many yrs ago by a recluse. Was not pretty but I caught the issue ASAP and with meds I was able to stop the flow of poison from doing a lot of damage however I did have to see a a surgeon to remove dead flesh. Haha...the funny, got me on the cheek....the cheek of my ASS. So no damage to be seen by others!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211965720334593365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-74922267064366787872018-09-15T09:17:27.042-04:002018-09-15T09:17:27.042-04:00Hahahaha...

We are fortunate not to have mosquitoes! Even on hot summer nights when I leave the French doors from my bedroom open I have never heard a single buzz. Very lucky that way. <br />I think in general we have fewer insects than in our old house. We are closer to open areas and forests, so I think we have more predators, even those that eat bugs! Bats maybe. The only spiders that get in the house (or my room because of the open doors) are cellar spiders (aka "daddy long legs," but that name belongs to an actual type of insect, not spider), which are harmless and barely move. The cats jump around for them, so I put them out (the spiders, not the cats who are not allowed out!). <br />Now... if you asked about Spring... EARWIG INVASION! <br /><br />Oh, the pun? Some people like them, some don't. But, aren't they supposed to elicit a groan and a frown? My oldest is a punster.

At least they're useful to us, so outside they get to stay sometimes.

At home it's ants. Thankfully this year they have not been in the house, but hubby has found lots of ant hills. They moved too.<br /><br />Have a fabulous day and weekend, Darla.

And as I have quote...ANTS... lots and lots of ANTS! And as I have quoted before I think they are planning and plotting to take over the world!!!!! In the past I usually have lots of spiders in the house as we live with brown recluse in this area but the last few yrs I don’t see hardly any. Butterflies I have noticed seem to be dropping down the last few yrs also, course that could have something to do with the amount of flowering plants I don’t seem to have. And of course we all know the flight of the bees. Anyway, not so much on the bugs....only ANTS plotting to take over the world!!! Thanks on the comment of the fall plaques. I had gotten a small table from a friend that needed more love then I was willing to give it so I took it apart. I used the small drawer for a project and those pieces I used for both plaques were drop down leafs on each side. I still have the legs and the center part to play with. Maybe now that I am feeling more normal again I will get some projects down,I have a few in the shed I am saving for cooler months.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211965720334593365noreply@blogger.com
