Frugalmom – I’m so glad your TOTALLY not taking sides. I’m saving your comment – it may come in handy when you finally get chickens……. speaking of which – hurry up and build that coop! I can overnight chicks, you know. I’m just sayin.

Marmy – I knew you’d understand. And I am really terrified of the cockerel ratio I am likely to get out of all these eggs. I’m actually trying to convince myself that we can put the cockerels in the freezer….. but that’s untested and remains a question. We’ll see.

We’ll be getting rid of those hornets. They are angry little critters. I’ve been stung for no apparent reason by them before. They actually do serve a purpose though. They are carnivorous and will eat other insects and clean up dead critters. But we have plenty around here so getting rid of that nest won’t throw off the balance of nature or anything.

Hope your boy got the whole passport thing straightened out and makes it to Thailand before too long. What an adventure for a young man!

lets hope they dont all turn out to be cockerals though, now that would learn ya

What a strange place for them there hornets to build their nest, maybe they liked the company of the little girl and boy…..

just squash it flat, them bloody hornets aint use to no man nor beast and ya cant even make a pie from them…..

I agree that the girl and boy figurine staring at the caterpillar does have a creepy feeling to it!
