Wasp Invasion

   There are wasps building nests everywhere this year. It's not unusual to find three nests in one day. Mostly they've been building in the barn which is awful because Mom and I go in there so often.

  They have nests in the worst places. I found a Yellow jacket's home in Mom's Rosemary plant when I was watering. That could have been bad; mom loves to walk up to the Rosemary plant and rub it to get the fragrance on her hands. I drowned them.
A couple of days ago Mom was waking along the fence line and found three different nests right next to each other.
  She got stung weeks ago when we were digging for metal pipes to use in the new chicken run and disturbed a large nest. It got her on the neck near her jugular while another went for her face. It's almost as if they know where to sting to cause the most pain. The one on her neck swelled up painfully. It took an application of Baking Soda mixed into a paste with water for it to go away.

I don't know how, but somehow my record of never being stung by a wasp still holds. Probably because I run away so fast. I don't know what's up, we've never had wasps around here this bad.
