Outdoor Life

tons of them? Your garden is gone, and they're everywhere.

Other infestations included a plague of ladybugs, believe it or not, and these ladybugs bite! We didn't know it until we caught a few of them, and they bit us. And their bites are painful too. I never thought that they bite. Never have ever seen so many ladybugs in my life. They seemed to like gathering on the sunny side of my cabin/shed. I should have caught some and sold them by the dozens, to make a few bucks. Ha ha heh.

Grasshoppers one year, they were everywhere, and your garden was also gone. Our animals seemed to like eating them, but gosh, how many grasshoppers can your cats (two of them at that time) eat?

And then one year, it was mice, by the thousands it seemed. Every time you picked up something, a board, anything, mice would go scurrying out everywhere. The owls/hawks had to have a field day/week.

One day I'll gather up all of our pictures (they are actual photos) and grab the ones that showed the infestations online. Every time I see these doomsday scenarios of plagues and such, related to the 'End Times prophecies', I think of all of the infestations that when one lives in the Country, rural part of the Ozarks, that have already happened. It's interesting how Nature shows herself as being out of whack sometimes.
