The last couple of days have been interesting—Sunday went to visit
my folks and had a great time mainly picking wild blackberries before the
expected rains this week—picked 7 gals so my ma could make home made wine-
which we cherished these bottles of wine
as Christmas presents and she would hide the best from pa for the holidays – I always
told her she should make shine cuz her wine is so smooth by your 2 nd glass you are happy,
the shine would make you have visions. Anyway spent the whole day there helping out and being a nusance
and playing pinochle and swatting hornets—just a few in their house-

preface the story- my sister while I was out on the road has a big old house and went to a
rarely used linen closet upstairs– opened it and was attacked by a swarm of hornets that manage to bore thru
the old lat and plaster wall and set up house--- exterminators came to save her and she only had mild reaction to her bites- lucky her dogs who
follow her around faithfully and would of blocked or been in the room with the closet decided not to be around-(makes you wonder if
they knew) so she was able to shut the door to room and keep them from spreading—actually her story is funny when she says it-
she hates those things and saw a couple of hornets tries to swat them by throwing a ball of socks to get the couple of hornets out against the back wall
and peeked up over a shelf for just one or two hornets and her eyeballs became saucers when there were hundreds coming out,she busted a hole in the eggshell
remains of the wall with the socks where the basketball-size nest opening was and “could of won an olympic medal” getting to the door-
still got bit—

so yesterday around 5:30 in morning my phone rings and its ma calmly screaming to get my kee-ster (for a better word) over here with the bug spray
that they knew I just got for similar incidents as my sister—My ma opened the front living room closet and it was full of hornets and
vacated the area pronto- apparently they entered around the outdoor water faucet hid by shrubs and not used and bore thru the walls between a guest bedroom
and the back of the living room closet and had a wall full of hornets—spent the whole day- trying to get them out of the house –
there was NO door to stop them and they just went under the closet door—spraying and water
hosing the outside—thinking we got most started to open the wall up amd more
came out—didn’t get bit once—had everything covered but my face using pa’s winter – type clothes and
wow what a nest—beautifully layered and still there were coming out but only by the dozen and just one or two last nite—
and picked more berries--- all those years they never had hornets in there—the same with my sisters house—
interesting if that is a sign of maybe a hard winter or something—
I’m use to seeing them in my backsheds and left them alone—especially wasp nest so they could go after catepillars and other pests-
but not in my house—(knocking on wood)
