Today in the garden it was all about getting eaten. Handling mosquitoes 鈥攅ven this year in their overabundance of population 鈥� is mostly alright but handling the sting of wasps is not so nice. A nice morning in the garden puttering around for enjoyment was cut short when I stepped into the wrong place! After all, the buzz in the garden right now is wasps! This tells me that we have recently reached late summer and the savvy insects that have to overwinter outside are already beginning to prepare.
