I can’t believe summer has almost come to a close. We had a strange summer. The first strange thing happend when Racoons ate our first crop of corn. Then we had some bees make a nest in a blanket in one of the dog’s houses.

Battling the bees was fun. I was cleaning the patio when I discovered them. The dogs thought it was fun to try to catch them, but that seemed to aggrivate them and they got stung. So I bought some wasp spray and, at my Dad’s advice, a can soup can full of gasoline to pour on them. I was thinking I wanted to be as far away as possible, so I started with the wasp spray and sprayed the whole can on them. I krept closer and a couple of them were still moving, so I poured the gasoline on them and they seemed pretty immoble. The next morning they were pretty dead and we got a look at the hive they made. I had never seen a bumble bee nest, so it was pretty interesting.

Have any of you had interesting summer adventures?
