We were still putting away tools and straightening the building site after our Labor Day work session, when someone moved in to our new house. She made herself right at home, making a home in our new home!
It’s fun to watch these bluish black wasps dig in the ground. The dirt just flies out behind them. They work diligently and they can move a lot of dirt in a hurry. We can’t tell if they’re looking for food or making homes for their little ones. I think ours was making a nest. She bored herself a nice little cave in a spot where the mud was still soft.
Hmm. I wonder if our little wasp is eligible for a new homeowner tax rebate? She did move in before September 30. But wasps can’t write, so she probably didn’t have a contract in place before May 1st. She may not even have been born before May 1st. Oh well. What use would a wasp have for $8,000 anyway?
