A while back I was complaining that a sore muscle in my back seemed to be better and then came back with a vengeance a day later.

Well, now it is the ants. I reported that the traps must be working because their numbers are way down.

Yesterday the counter by the sink looked like a black cloud. Oh well.

Clyde has found out where they are coming from outside and has a plan to deal with the little stinkers. Look out ants!

A while back we had a bat flying around our house that Clyde managed to get out and we have not seen "Dingy" since.

Last night I awoke to the sounds of scratching in our heating system.

Hope Dingy has not come back or a rat or squirrel. We sure have a lot of unwanted visitors.

I did not wake up with a headache yesterday or today! Yea! Maybe whatever is causing this on an off headache with ear popping is slowing down.

Don't think it is gone after two months but I did go to the doctor and he said there weren't any red flags so I will probably try his advice which is to take Sudafed for a week since he thinks it might be a fluid problem.

Anyway, cheers on a beautiful Friday!

I guess the ant traps are starting to work.

I have wiped a lot of surfaces that messes up their scent trails.

There are still a few thumbing their noses at me as they march off.

Some of them still haven't figured out they are on dangerous turf.

As I have mentioned before I am not trying on clothes right now. I just find things I like and hope for the best.

I sure have returned a lot of dresses but I lucked out yesterday! It looks great on me so I can chuck the receipt! Yay!

Love hearing from viewers! Today I received such a nice email regarding my Yin Yang paintings in my Whimsy collection.

I put a lot of effort into coming up with some creative interpretations of that symbol and may do some more sometime.

She especially liked Yin Yang Flow which is pictured here. These paintings are only available in print form but that may change. She would prefer an original.

Anyway, hope to get a lot more done on my latest floral and cheers on a beautiful Tuesday!

As I have mentioned many times I love my husband's quirky sense of humor. You may groan but I loved this.

Don't remember the name of the program but a Park Ranger was in hot pursuit of a man that shot a deer without a license.

Why would a deer need a license?

Another funny lesson in the English language from my guy.

Between the ant traps that I hope will work soon and me wiping away their scent trails I hope we will be rid of ants soon.

Their numbers are down and I tell them to tell their friends that it is not safe in here.

Hope they do that however ants do that.

When did ants get too smart for ant traps?

We have quite a herd of them right now in the kitchen and I think they just laugh and go around the traps.

So far they have only ruined some dried bananas that was in a unsealed package. Now everything is super tight.

I guess we just have to live with these uninvited guests for a while.

I think we are in for some mind boggling today.

Clyde wants to get a laptop. Since he sat on a computer at his job he probably won't have much trouble with it but I think there is a visit from our young tech savvy friend in our future.

Every little change in computers freaks me out.

Glad the new mystifier will be his. I think I will keep my distance.
