Okay, so sorry for not posting yesterday…things just happen too fast. Here’s the deal…
Didn’t work yesterday. Dr. Morgan wasn’t there, so I just went to go eat at Ryan’s, then went to Greeneville, & washed my car. Got my first CG art is on my gallery finally, and am hoping for some good feedback on it.
An astronaut is supposed to come to ETSU to speak tomorrow. I’m not sure if I’m going, but I plan on it. I’ll keep you posted on that.
Helped fix the house yesterday afternoon. Didn’t get to do much schoolwork or anything else, same on Sunday. Wrote some, but only a paragraph or two.
Anyhows, when we were working on the house, there was a bumblebee bee nest somewhere in the rafters. We had to kill them one by one using a water hose to wet their wings until they fell. We got about 6-7 bees, but Andrew says a hive can consist about 50 individuals.
We were working into the night, when all of a sudden, the covering vinyl sheet that we had covered the openings of the rafters with, came a frantic buzzing. We slightly let the sheet down, and a bumble bee fell out onto the ground. When we shined the light to see where it went to squash it, it flew out of the grass straight towards the light. Andrew took the fly swatter and quickly put it six feet under.
Other than that, not a whole lot. That’s about it for today. Until later.
NOTE: Future Janeil here. The “bumblebee nest” is what’s commonly known as carpenter bees in today’s age (specifically Eastern Carpenter Bees). I’ve left the description to keep the original tone and feel of my younger self, but this is what actually was in the rafters. This also explains why there wasn’t “50 bees” when everything was cleaned out.
