I murdered some wasps this weekend. I tried to embed a Flickr slideshow for you but it did not order them correctly so please click over to the slideshow on Flickr. Click on “Show Info” at the top right of the screen over there if you do not see my comments for each photo.
Meanwhile, here they are pre-extermination: Dead Wasps Walking.
Now that I have finally done it once, I will not work myself into such a panic the next time. It was pretty gosh darn easy. It was a rather small nest, though. If I come across a larger one, I reserve the right to be scared like my nephew Daniel like a little girl all over again.
While I was pretending not to panic, I practiced my favorite method of procrastination and spent Saturday afternoon cleaning and organizing. Behold the freshly hosed down patio with the indoor/outdoor carpets brought out of winter storage to protect the delicate foot pad from the harsh concrete.
Just in time for friends to come over for some hot tubbing and later yell encouragement at me from the safety of the screened in patio while I sprayed death at the wasps.
Good times.
