What I’m up to…
- Okay, I'm narrowing it down. I think it was a wasp. Still don't know what kind of wasp, though. 4 days ago
- I'm pretty sure I'm not allergic to bee stings. Should I be worried anyway? Haven't been stung since I was something like 7-8 years old! 4 days ago
- I think I scared the crap out of my cat, ZenaB. She was sitting inside watching as I came hollering indoors. 4 days ago
- See what I get for allowing ONE bee to build a next in a faux birdhouse? Before I got stung, I saw 6 adult-sized bees go into the birdhouse. 4 days ago
- Umm...cleaning up in the garden (long past due) and got stung in the ass by a bee! Three chased me inside; had to bat them out behind me. 4 days ago
