This time last year I was complaining and worrying about yellow jackets.<\/p>\n
This year, despite the April\/May trapping of A LOT of queens- I figured I didn’t trap them all and percent-wise, etc – I thought we were in for another bad year, but NO yellow jackets. No Wasps, No nothing of the flying\/stinging\/biting sort of insect.<\/p>\n
I have been sitting on the front porch with a sweet beverage and\/or a snack and have not been bothered by any flying thing.<\/p>\n
Same with a chair on Beardog point.<\/p>\n
Every day this happens, I am grateful.<\/p>\n
Last year, it was buzzy EVERYWHERE.<\/p>\n
This year, we sit, we walk and it is “normal”.<\/p>\n
HOO- RAH!!!<\/p>\n
But, I cannot believe it is the last week of July.<\/p>\n
And then it will be August.<\/p>\n
Last year August was difficult. Bob’s stuff and losing Bob.<\/p>\n
I miss that darn Bob and have been dreaming about him.<\/p>\n
Nothing to do but go forward.<\/p>\n
And try to get to normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
