The Circus Came to Town!

Let's face it - termites are just part of life when you live in California. Just about everyone on our street has had to have their house tented for them since we have lived here and this week it was our turn. I love the way they always use the brightest colors they can find for the tent. So for even those with especially bad eyesight it's evident that this house is the termite house! The kids have always said it just looks like a big circus tent. So now the circus has finally come to Larsen land!

And the best part - 2 days in a hotel with a pool, someone else doing the cleaning and a nice cool drink.

No, I take that back. The best part was coming home yesterday to a clean, bug free house and sleeping soundly in my own bed last night.

I have loads of yard work this weekend. The guys that did the fumigation were nice enough to keep my rose bushes out of the tent but everything else, including all the plants in the front atrium are now gone. :( It couldn't be helped. Just pray we have cooler weather this weekend so that working outside won't be too awful bad. Next week's vacation can't come soon enough for me!
