Cow Bell Wasp Nest

 My Patsy cow bell had stopped clanging, then today it fell to the ground.  When I picked it up, red wasps attacked me. I got one sting on my hand and I have a hard time with wasp stings...but Sigrid was here and played nurse.  I kept ice on the sting for 3 hours and Siggie gave me two bendryl.  I was better in a few hours.  The wasps had the clanger surrounded and it would not move.  Larry took care of the nest with hornet spray.  I have rehung the bell and will be glad to hear it clang again.

 I had two pretty doves eating the seeds off the ground that the black birds knocked out of my feeder.  I "coo" have watched them all day.

 Laura canned dill pickles....

 and also salsa.  All looks tasty.
