I started with the usual sorts of things – cleaning up the basement, mowing the lawn, putting the cardboard out for recycling, as so on. I asked Trish to help me move some bags of leaves that didn’t quite make it out to the curb before winter. Since the bottoms were rotted out and the leaves mostly composted, Trish suggested we just throw them onto the compost pile. Out came the snowshovels. When I started to move the fourth bag, a cloud of yellow jackets came pouring out of the bag. I grabbed Mechel and ran. The yellow jackets didn’t pursue us. So, I sprayed two cans of hornet\/wasp killer into the two bags I saw the yellow jackets coming out of. Hopefully by tomorrow we’ll be able to safely move the bags.<\/p>\n

This afternoon, we went to Iona Island<\/a>. A former Navy installation, it’s now part of Harriman Park. We went there looking for birds, as the Audubon Society lists it as a “hot spot<\/a>” in Rockland county. We saw lots of swallows, and one Heron fly by, but that’s about it.<\/p>\n
