Stung!

My husband and I are in the midst of a huge yard renovation. We've pulled out a lot of bushes and ground cover. We're revamping the layout of the lawn. We'll be getting a sprinkler system and doing some hydro-seeding.

But in the midst of disturbing all this nature, some of the other residents of the yard have not been so happy with us. The quail have found other living quarters. Our three squirrels have migrated to a neighbor's yard. But the wasps were not going to give up their home under the hood of our pickup without a fight!

So ... I got stung. Yowch!

Wasp Nest

While escorting that family of wasps to never-never land, we found four other colonies in the yard. After the eviction, we knocked down the nests.

I got to take this benign photo after the visit to the doctor, and before we demolished their home.
