So when something works, I guess I don't want to have anything mess it up! (My mom had the same problem with me, but it was usually bath or bathroom time for her... KID!! LEAVE! Please...)<br /><br />As far as the yellowjackets, they tend to be ground dwellers in this area. That isn't gospel, however, I went out to open one of our metal gates, and the nasty things had found a crack that had formed, and were making a nest in the tubing. But all I could suggest, wear LIGHT COLORED clothing, and slowly (VERY slowly)walk in the area you suspect them. They tend to make a nest in the ground that looks like a hole, any where from the size of a small superball, up to ones I'v seen about the size of a small baseball. I am no expert, but you may also have paper wasps, or hornets. We are so lucky, we have all of 'em. Needless to say, summer can be interesting on occasion. Pic-nics are pretty much out on our property. You can probably get more information through your extension agency, if you have one, or look up yellowjackets on line.

And I agree, we should all listen to our inner 2 year old voice more often!^_^<br />I totally understand your shyness with working out in front of others when following an exercise tape. I used to have a phobia with regards to that as well. Now I just get annoyed because they will come waltzing in as I'm sweating and grunting away and start TALKING to me!!! Hello?? Can this wait for maybe another 20 minutes?? Honestly!<br />Interseting that you mention the yellow jackets. The boys had a rather nasty encounter with them last night. Any words of wisdom on that? Such as where their nest might be? Just so we can avoid future stingings? We are mystified as to where they came from, seemingly out of nowhere. Though we have tried to locate the source.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09579814438118079024noreply@blogger.com
