May from Juliana - comments>critters>blissful

 

Everything on this envelope is fun and right up my alley. I've tried doing the red/blue dashed border many times and never get anything I like. The way Juliana did hers is genius. I'm tempted to do my version but I can already tell that part of the success is that the border is quite narrow and she filled up a lot of space. I'm not sure I'd be as good at filling up the space. Also - her colors are perfect.

Unless you live in a  high-rise, you probably have critters trying to share your living space. The easy answer is to hire people who come in with a lot of chemicals but I'm a little suspicious of that approach. My daughter's town, Chicago, has an abundance of rats. IMHO, rats are just miniature raccoons. Or maybe raccoons are mutant, gargantuan rats. Either way - it's hard to escape animals. I think if you go south, the insects keep getting larger and more of a *thing.* I'll refrain from listing all the critters who think that humans want to share their spaces and food. 

To be honest, the worst ones are the ones who think they should live inside our bodies. We'll stick a pin in that topic.

There are 4 weeks of blog posts ready to go. By the time this pops up, maybe I can post a quick update that the raccoons are no longer a problem. I have refrained from discussing all the bad ideas that were tossed around. But, I did want to return to *blissful ignorance* - which I will do tomorrow.

As of the day before this pops up - the critter problem is back to *normal* which is manageable. We'll never be free of critters.
