Those are great pics of your winter wonderland, Anna! I've been working on taking out a yellowjacket wasp nest the last couple of days. I needed the cold weather to make that easier. After getting off all the wood on the top of it, I put all the organic type stuff on it I could think of on it to kill as many as possible. Then the next day I dug the actual nest up before the freeze last night. Today I dug deeper, because there were a bit more wasps in the ground. Now everything is exposed for the big freeze tonight. I'm doing this for my hummingbird...and for the butterflies. They were being harassed by the dratted wasps! I seldom kill many insects, but sometimes you have to defend the wild creatures who can't defend themsleves against yellowjackets! Last night was 26.2° here, tonight is supposed to go down even more. Keep warm, everyone!

Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
