An unwelcome suprise

Can you see it? Something trying to hide amongst the leaves? Something that YOU wouldn't want to find on the side of your house, right next to your front porch?


Yesterday, my sis and I were working in my yard, cutting back my rosebushes. I was in the midst of cursing myself for planting such beastly bushes when I turned behind me and caught a glimpse of something terrifying (to me, at least). There, tangled in my honeysuckle, was the most ginormous wasps' nest I ever saw. I freaked. We went inside because we didn't want to upset anything that might be living there. Lucky me that I have the best bro-in-law in the world who came over and took care of the thing for me. He sprayed it with some wasp killer stuff and then cut the nest out of my vine. He busted the thing open on the sidewalk and we found that the wasps had vacated their home awhile back. Phew! But isn't that the coolest thing ever? It was huge! The photos don't do it justice. It was literally the size of a basketball. My sister said, to her, it looked like Voldemort on the back of Quirrell's head for those of you Harry Potter fans.
