Spring Series #10
Ants!
We headed outside to find the ants as the cloud cover broke, after a three day rain.
So far we have only seen tiny black ants. Never more than 5 or 6. Sometimes in the garden, or near the house, or by my coffee syrup drippings.
Today we found 2 on a flower and 5-6 on the deck.
Tip #1 – Boy Spit is fatal to Ants.
Tip #2 – Boy Fingers Aren’t that Safe Either.
The ants seemed to go to the siding of the house and disappear in a crack. Upon investigation of Tiny Black Ants – we learned that they like houses/siding/wood for their homes too.
The boys put out crackers, salt, sugar, and boy spit. They liked the Crackers most.
(Note that that long bone surf board looking thing is a pine needle.)
Proverbs 6:6 (The Message)
A Lesson from the Ant
6-11 You lazy fool, look at an ant.
Watch it closely; let it teach you a thing or two.
Nobody has to tell it what to do.
All summer it stores up food;
at harvest it stockpiles provisions.
So how long are you going to laze around doing nothing?
How long before you get out of bed?
A nap here, a nap there, a day off here, a day off there,
sit back, take it easy—do you know what comes next?
Just this: You can look forward to a dirt-poor life,
poverty your permanent houseguest!
