I Was Attacked This Morning! :)_

Hi Everyone!

I have a funny story to tell you all today!

I was outside this morning taking a picture of a card on the deck for an Inky Antics/Tombow blog hop tomorrow, when I thought a humming bird buzzed me. I turned to look and it was a huge wasp of some kind carrying a cicada that was as big at it was! I snapped this photo as he was trying to pull it down through a knothole. There is an area of the deck that always has tons of dead cicadas laying there. We have often wondered why they go there to die.  Well... mystery solved. they don't die there, they are brought there by this crazy huge wasp!

Here is the funny part...
(I can laugh now but at the time, I almost tinkled my granny panties!)

I picked up a hand shovel that was laying there, and thought I was going to cut it in half by whacking it with the edge of the shovel.

Well....you guessed it....I MISSED!!!

Picture me in a housecoat, bare foot,  hair still up in a messy bun (yes...I'm being lazy this morning) running around the back yard swatting at this huge bug/bird with a stinger that is now totally pissed off and dive bombing me! Both arms were flailing in the air as I swung at it with  the shovel and my bare hand. I hit it a couple of times with my hand before I managed to get into the house!

I waited about thirty minutes until the coast was clear then went back out to finish shooting my card. Well...you guessed it again...he was waiting for me! I no sooner sat down in a deck chair and he started dive bombing me again!

Another mad dash back into the house for me!

Any other pictures I need to take today will be done under the Ott Light!  :)

Between my morning coffee and the wasp induced adrenaline rush, I'm hopped up and ready to hit my craft studio running!  :)

Hugs and happy crafting my friends!

True :D
