Wasps

We have big, mean, apparently very prolific wasps in Texas. My husband sprayed two nests in the back last night and when we got up this morning there was one lone wasp trying to salvage what was left of the nest. This afternoon we walked out the front door, I heard something buzzing around my head and we looked up and there was an even bigger nest above the door and he found two more under the eaves! Had I been braver I would have taken photos. Ok, I am not that brave. So, he used an entire can of spray on five nests -- hopefully tomorrow they will be gone -completely

I hope the spray didn't kill George, the lizard that hibernated in the garage last winter. He now lives in the yard and on the window screen -- I will have to check on him tomorrow -- note to self -- check on George. Maybe I will take a picture of George -- he isn't scary.

Oh, I ramble. Obviously nothing to blog. Think I will try my hand at some English paper piecing.

Please, please post a photo of George! I love lizards and we don't really get too many of them up here on the 5th floor!

You could also post some photos of that English paper piecing - it sounds like such a lovely, creative thing to be doing.

George lived with Allen all winter in the garage (not that Allen lived in the garage - you know what I mean --- then, one day he just left but he lives in the flowerbed and sometimes sunbathes on the driveway. However, I haven't seen him on the driveway since out temp has been over 100 for days and days == it might turn him into an appetizer! He was out in the back on a rock the other day -- I will try to find him

The English paper piecing == well, I will try it == one of my finger joints keeps getting stuck and hruts. I will see.

Update

 Ok, so we visited our cardiologist yesterday to get the lay of the land for the Hubs.  Seems there is an issue with one of the grafts from ...
