"and don'tcha come back no more, no more, no more, no more!"
My place has flowers in the woods, so I have a lot of flying life like wasps and bees and moths and beetles and butterflies and hummingbirds, plus toads, spiders, lizards, deer, snakes and such here and there in the garden. But those yellow jackets do not play well with others.
I wouldn't even go near a fresh bale of hay today to feed critters without a hooded jacket and long pants and muckers AND a spray bottle of horsey fly spray with a good spray. I had two different colored socks pulled up over my Cabela's campin' pants because they will climb under the hem of your britches and have at it while you're jumping around like a bronco in heat.
If anyone in the woods saw me, they would pass me off as a bit loony. But, dayum, those stings hurt and stay swollen for a week. I poulticed tobacco on this one right away, but it still is itchy and sore like cellulitis.
Today, they didn't divebomb me. Maybe they realize I'm not out to get them.
I think when they get vicious they are telling me to stay in the house and paint.
