This is just one of the many (approx. 20) hornets nests that we've killed over the summer. This one happened to be inside our patio umbrella. I couldn't resist getting close enough to take a picture. This nest was about 5" in diameter. Just days before this one, our family was enjoying dinner out on the patio. We had a couple of hornets buzzing around us, so we thought we would quickly swat them to their death. When I came back with the fly swatter, the kids notified me that the hornets flew under the table. Yes, we had a hornets nest under the table, inches between Addie and I.

Scary!

I'm glad to see you're back on the blogging bandwagon.

Did you happen to catch the pictures I took of your kids over the 4th? And I'm sure by now you've heard we're moving back to Maryland, right?
