Hornet Update!
Well after having Ozzie get stung two more times, I finally convinced Dan that his raid hornet spray was not working (he had went through almost the whole bottle). He would sit on the porch and watch the entrance with his spotting scope and he said it was a really, really busy hole.
Finally, would you just know it, Dan admitted that a friend of his was a Terminex guy. So, he gave him a call and explained the situation. The bug guy figured that the hornets had made a huge paper nest under the ground and no amount of raid could possibly get down to the "queen". He said he would be out at 7 AM to catch the hornets before they started moving around. (That was yesterday)
After the guy got out here and took a look at the size of hole that we had, he said there were probably 2-3 of those huge paper nests with at least two queens. He had this big long wand attached to a back pack of bug spray and just jammed it down and around inside the hole. He really saturated them. Said if there were any flying around still tonight that he would come back.
The upside is that he didn't even charge us for his services! Isn't God good!
I went out last night to check things out and nothing was flying in or out. There were dead hornets laying all over the ground and when you look down that big hole there are a whole bunch of dead one's just filling it up.
So, once again, it is safe to go outdoors!
Dan and I had a busy day yesterday. I had a skating class, Adults and then I went and worked at Interim for a couple of hours and then went back home to feed everybody and then turned around and headed back to town for church. We are having our Missions Conference, so we have two extra services this week.
Dan had a meeting in Gillette, WY so he was gone before I got home from Interim. He got home around 1230-1:00 am.
Neither one of us wanted to get up this morning. All of the kids were on the bed pawing at us to get up and feed them.
Well, I have to run into town to teach another skating class and then will work at Interim for as long as I am up to it. Then it is back to church tonight.
Not sure when I'll get a chance to rest up. Saturday classes and private lessons start tomorrow. Whew!
