Ants Arrive!

The one thing Suzanne wanted for her birthday was an ant habitat (not "ant farm" - - she's pretty scientific). She got the ant habitat, but the ants had to be mail ordered from Utah, and they didn't arrive in time for her birthday. Suzanne wasn't disappointed. She just bided her time and enjoyed her other presents.

And today the ants arrived! Just in time for Christmas.

The little buggers came in a small plastic tube labeled with a warning that these ants sting. Luckily, only a few escaped as we were transferring them to their new home. (Hindsight being 20/20, I now realize we should have done the transfer outdoors. Now Elizabeth and I keep thinking there are ants in our pants.)

We are all excited to see the ants construct their colony.

Last Gasp of Summer

Sunset the first night.   It's been a good summer, but certainly more constrained than usual due to the COVID-19 pandemic...
