Quiet day on the ranch

The sun is shining brightly, the temperature is 45°, the snow is melting...rapidly. And there is not a flake of snow in the forecast for the next week. It’s dangerous to make these statements publicly since the weather gremlins are always listening. But it is spring-ish this week. The deal breaker is that I haven’t smelled the ocean yet. When that happens, spring is officially here. But I’ll be more than happy to accept this weather while we wait.

I’ve been out and about town without a jacket today. My car is warm from the sun. It’s balmy outside. The freedom of movement sans jacket is simply delicious. I want more of this!

Nothing much exciting going on here. Therefore, a rather bland blog entry. Sometimes bland is a nice change of pace.

The harbingers of exciting times ahead started fluttering around the kitchen last night. Those moths are back. I didn’t get them all the last time. That means, in about a month or so (maybe sooner), we may have a cavalcade of worms marching across the kitchen ceiling again. This time, I’m tempted to call the exterminator as much as I dislike the idea.

Had one or two about 2 weeks ago, then last week 4 or 5, am waiting for this week’s entry into the sweepstakes........and I did hire an exterminator.  Can’t deal with it anymore...it was the last resort, but nothing I have done has gotten totally rid of them. I have thrown away literally hundreds of dollars of food in the process, spices, seasonings, everything and still they continue to come.  The exterminators will come when all the snow is away from the foundation (July???) and are going to do everything--in and out.  I have had it!

They are formidable. I think the only way to permanently get rid of them is via the nuclear option. I’ve also tossed out enough food to feed a family for a month. Last night there were a couple of moths fluttering around upstairs, too. Their territory has expanded. I’m not willing to live with them any longer.

Worms on the ceiling? 
That’s something I haven’t heard before.

You know, I have a friend who’s disected a human body and held a dog’s heart while it was put to death, but still shudders and screams at the sight (or smell) of worms.  Pretty wacky.
