With the stink bugs, we seemed to have had more last year but there is quite a few trying to get in this year....One thing I did find out, last year when I brought my indoor plants in off the porch, the dreaded bugs had dug down in the dirt and when they got inside and the heat came on, out they came... We were also told, they would be gone after a frost, well, no luck, they just moved under ground or inside.... I also heard, these bugs were brought here to take care of the brown lady bugs...Not sure about that.... AND they do stink...They have a smell about them even when alive and if you kill them, oh my.....When we catch them in the house, we flush them or put them in a plastic bag and then put it in the garbage....Also, it's said, not to kill them because that smell with bring on more......... AND nothing gets rid of them.....

My friend David sent these to me today -- baby pictures for Mason and his brother, Kilroy. Unfortunately, Kilroy died last week, and David was going through some pictures. In the first one, Mason is lying down. In this one, Mason is on the left. It's amazing to think that Mason, now 100 lbs, was ever that small. Kilroy was even larger, topping out at nearly 150.

Buddy and Nocci, who were often entwined. It's not a good scan--I'll have to try again--but you get the picture.
