Pests!

We are getting to experience western Nebraska pests this spring.  Isaac is terrified of bugs and it is difficult to tell him that the bugs won't hurt him when we have fire ant hills all over!  I don't know if the previous owners got rid of them before we moved in last summer or they are just worse this year, but we keep finding more huge hills!  I got bit by one last year, but it was by the road and I thought it was a fluke.  Heh, guess I was wrong.  The bad thing is, most ant killers at the stores don't do anything to the fire ants.  So much for telling Isaac that ants are nice.

We somehow have pigeons hanging around the house also.  We didn't have any last year, but this spring we have a few trying to hang out around the house.  Good thing we do not live in Scottsbluff, because apparently there is a law against shooting them in city limits.

We also have this cute little bird that keeps us 'company.'  As soon as the sun comes up, he starts pecking our bedroom windows.  I'm not sure what he is doing, but we no longer need to set an alarm, because we are awake as soon as the sun starts coming up.  I'm not sure what we are going to do about this little guy yet.
