This is a blog about gratitude... for life on the farm, homeschooled munchkins, inter-cultural adventures, and God’s grace in every breath, completely undeserved. ~ By Alysun Peters

Fly, Fly AWAY!
There is nothing that makes me more annoyed than flies. Spiders and mice don't bother me, but flies make me crazy. Apparently Emma has already observed my wild dashing around the house trying to kill the many that invade each day. She loves swatting at flies herself and does a swat-swat-running dance. These four pictures are of her vicious attempted killing spree (she hasn't got any flies out of the air yet :). Give her time. I will train her to my trusty fly-destroying side-kick.

My mom says that my almost first words were, "darn fly!"
Have you forgotten the mice in the Quanzit houses? I think old age is setting in for you;-)
When I start to get annoyed with the flies, I remember with fondness and sentimentality the sound of flies buzzing in Grandma Great's bedroom on hot summer afternoons while falling asleep for our afternoon nap. I can still smell the summer smells coming in through the open windows (no screens)and see the breeze blowing the curtains. Then I am comforted instead of annoyed. Aunt Marci
Lets hope her hand eye coordination improves soon, I'm sure you need all the help you can get erradicating those pesky creatures. (I don't have the warm fuzzy memories of flies in grandmas bedroom- I usually slept, I remember it was Hot, and then there was the time I was sucking on a christmas light bulb and it broke in my mouth...I got in trouble:(
My guys like to wait until the flies are on the window, then suck them up with the vacuum attatchment. Then they take the canister outside and let them all go. It works pretty well...
I think I could have similar pictures of Drew. :) When Emma gets the fly killing mastered can she hire out?
