We have an invasion of the creepy crawlies, of sorts. Ants and flies have appeared out of nowhere in the summer heat and make a nuisance of themselves in the kitchen. It is fascinating. One day the kitchen is clean as a whistle and spick and span because of a certain obession with cleanliness on the part of a resident who shall remain un-named and the next day, an army of ants is running up and down the counter. And this morning was the turn of the flies, the ants having been vanquished by suitable application of anti-ant antidotes (is that an allegory?). From whence they came? So out with the newspapers and wet towel and with many a swatting by the young and senior, the situation is under control, I think. The trusty vacuum cleaner probably needs some disinfectant soon but hey, the flies are losing...
This past week has been hot. The heat is a searing 105 fahrenheit or more and it is hard to sleep without the fan. But soon, before you know it, the colors will start changing and you will miss the long lazy days of summer.
