OUCH!!!!!!!!!



My awesome friend, Liz, came over to help me take care of the mass amounts of leaves taking over my backyard. We got the right side of the house and the back part of the house done, but when we started the left side, something attacked my finger. I had no clue what was going on. My finger felt like someone lit it on fire and I couldn't see anything at first. Liz kinda giggled and then asked me if I got stung. Why had this not occurred to me yet? Then, I noticed a stinger. Now I noticed the little swarm of wasps flying around. I must have raked over a nest. I don't know about you, but I assumed wasps were gone for the year! It's too cold and wet! Well I am here to tell you that they are NOT gone for the winter. We went inside and I treated my wound with some baking soda paste.

About 20 minutes later, I stuck my hand in the pockets of my jeans. When I pulled my hand out, another wasp flew out! IT...WAS...IN...MY...JEANS!!!!!!!!!!! What was it doing in there? I got a little freaked out and Liz helped me shew him out into the garage. After Liz left I took my jeans off and quickly balled them up and threw them in the garage. I did not want to find out if there were any more hiding in there!

Anyway, these pictures show my swollen finger and the side of the house that will get neglected because vicious insect live there!

A couple years ago me and Bryan were raking leaves and uncovered some hornets. One very angry one stung Bryan, then turned around and stung me. We were both crying it hurt so bad. Ok, maybe just Bryan cried.
