Two things I like about winter; when the leaves are gone, I can see what’s happening around the neighborhood, and all the bugs in the world are either dead or soundly sleeping. So now that spring is here, bringing all the promise of warmth, regrowth and open windows, so come the bugs. A single ant started the parade a couple of weeks ago, and now it’s at least two a day, or more, and in various sizes, dexterity and audacity. I had one ant appear on the edge of the book I was reading! What nerve! Yesterday a big fat beetle was napping on the toilet paper roll! Ugh. I hate them.
