Ant with a secret...

If a bug wants to tell you a secret...don't let him






Got a few interesting pics and maybe a disturbing one. Rain began during the night last night. It was expected. Although, this afternoon some sun came out. Temp was 62. Tonite it will freeze, just barely. Most of the walnut tree leaves have fallen. During the last two weeks, the freezing temps at night have killed most of them, and the wind last week really brought them down. The apple tree leaves are tougher and they are just nonchalantly moseying down to the ground.


Had a problem with the gas heat thermostat, again. Man replaced it once and the new one worked sporadically for one day only.












Would not work.





He had to take out the defective new one and replace it.


Saturday while out to the store, caught this "real up-close" pot-o-gold indicator.

Well since the rain is back for a few days and it is staying cold outside, today was the day for my first fire in the fireplace. Since I have moved in, the chimney sweep has been here to clean out the pipe, replace bricks in the firebox and replace the seal around the glass door. Today I set fire to miscellaneous pieces of wood.

Sure looks good, doesn't it?








Now for a re-cap look around the place...

Here I am welcoming you to the front door...

Relaxing on the patio, out in the back...

























Here Is the Boat House...

And now some changes in my office in the house. Someone is now looking over my shoulder while I sit at my computer.

And now for the bug...



While sitting at my computer here, I felt some....uhhhh, commotion in my left ear. After some digging, and several fishing trips this is what I retrieved out of there. I won't say what I was using to fish with but you can see from the size indicator I have shown in the picture just how small this "bug" was. I believe it to be a lady bug that is really that small and has black and white spots on it. Either that or an ant.



Sooo, if you agree to listen to a bug secret, he may crawl into your ear and tell you.

Whoa, shades of "The Wrath of Kahn"....
