here's something i never thought i'd say...


We have bagworms. I never even knew there was such a thing. They are crazy little caterpillar-type bugs that attach to evergreens. In a matter of three days, these things literally ate one of our 10-foot evergreens down to half its size. Armando and his dad worked yesterday evening to pull them off by hand (they form a cocoon on the plant) and then burn them. Supposedly our evergreen will grow back, but until then it looks crazy out there (and of course it's in the front of the house). If you get bored, try a Google search and take a gander at these nasty critters.

YUCK!!! My parents have several evergreens and I can remember them getting attacked by the nasty creatures. Sometimes I question God's sanity when He created some of the "creatures" He did.
