Hornet Sting

I did get the screen porch painted on Saturday. It started with a hornet sting almost immediately after I started. They've made a good size nest between the screen porch and the spare bedroom.
The sting was't too bad yesterday, but today it's really itchy and puffy too (but not in a good way). Still, I'd like to finish this project today and replace the screens except for the ones on the hornet nest side. I should have gone outside in the evening and given them a spray treat for them and their babies but forgot to. Maybe I can spray them right through the screen this morning. I know they will get pretty excited at that but I should be relatively safe behind the screen right?

Hmmmmm... ounce of prevention....

So, itchy and puffy in a good way? Who could imagine it any other way? I love itchy & puffy especially when combined with bloated and irritable.

That picture clearly is looking for a hand agent model. My weekend wasn't nearly as exciting. Except for maybe identifying my first American Redstart. They are very cute, but not red at all... more black & orange.

Would that I'd had the forsight to look for hornet nests before starting....there was some satisfaction to be had in spraying the Pee-wadden out of them and their babies this morning but it 's still very sWollen and itchy.... Lesson learned I guess.
