Plague!

This week at the ranch has been plague week.  Witness:

hundreds (I’m not kidding) of yellow jackets drinking from the water fountain and hoses

swarms of ants searching for water in my grain buckets, in my water bottle in my truck….

who knows how many flies driving the horses crazy (their stomping sounded like a percussion section the other night)

but most amazingly, the INFESTATION of yet-to-be-named bugs crawling all over the roundpen fence, footing, and the dirt and weeds around the roundpen.  Seriously, it was MILLIONS!  I’ve never seen so many bugs in one place.

If they had been locusts we would have run away screaming in terror.
