I would have freaked out to find myself on an ant hill. Beautiful work here Laura. #8403017

Laura E. Swan level-classic February 21, 2010

Oh, Ann (and Earl, too!)! I DID freak! They were all over me! At least they were tiny and didn't bite. We have HUGE RED ONES here, too! I lucked out! I still found a few in my hair ETC., in the following hours. It was ICKY!

John, those spongy little critters just bounced right back and scattered! It was their lucky day. (Except for the ones that got squished! HA!) Thanks for the smile!

You're funny, Tammy! HA! Well, I dont so much have the habit of sitting on ant hills, but at the last house I had to mow over several of them to cut the grass. It got bad! They attack the color black too, and bees and mosquitoes will too!!! I always tried to wear green in the garden. (And no sitting down okay silly dilly?!)

I Renata! Thank you so much!

And to all, I appreciate all the kind things you have said here and fun stuff, too!

Have a great night if you happen to read this!
