Ants

We seem to be having a deal of trouble with little brown ants, who always come inside at the start of the wet weather but who this year have taken to swarming on the kettle. It leads to DREADFUL cups of tea, especially since it is a smart black number and they don't show up too well.

It also leads to idiotic conversation on the cause. Are they thirsty? Cold? Just exploring? and why now?

It is a mystery to me that they leave the Kombucha alone.

The Farmers' Market was just beautiful yesterday, even sweet little strawberries. It fuels my dreams of self-sufficiency.
