i hope this sunny day doesn’t bring more ants

Feb 1, 2024

February 1 and it’s the first sunny day we’ve had around here in a very long time. Finally! The sun shining in the window in the office/family room was a boost to my mood, for sure. It just made Merida sleepy. 😉

There’s a reason Merida needs a nap…

As I was trying to sleep this morning around zero thirty hours, I kept feeling something tickle my face. I’ve seen a few ants and my sleepy brain told me that’s what I had on my cheek, nose and forehead. I kept wiping those darn ants away and drifting back into slumber.

It wasn’t long until there were too many of those crawly insects and I popped my eyes open. There was Merida… her nose against mine with her whiskers tickling me. There weren’t any ants at all. 😏

Now you know: A colony of wild chickens have been living under the Hollywood Freeway for over 50 years.
