365/117
I was a bit confused when Sarah yelled downstairs tonight asking me why I was hiding fruit in my bed.
Huh?
“What fruit? Where? What the heck are you talking about?” was pretty much my response.
And then she explained that I had fruit flies all over my bed.
Dang. Not again. This makes two nights in a row they were sucked in through the window fan.
Why would the screen not keep them out you ask? Well…way back when we were building my side of the house, a certain penny pinching relative, who shall remain nameless, ( I say this with the utmost love,) thought he we would save a bundle on windows that didn’t come with proper fitting screens. In other words, there is a five inch gap between the top of my screen and the top of the window. And if I wasn’t so afraid of heights and had a tall enough ladder, I’d fix the blasted thing myself.
Until then, I guess I’ll be sleeping with bugs.

Do you know how to get rid of them once they’re in there? Put apple cider vinegar in a shallow little bowl or lid and one drop of dish soap. They go in there and die. Wonderful invention!

We get tiny bugs in through the screen and we don’t have a 5 inch gap. Time for new screens!

While I really like the sky/clouds picture, I was kind of hoping to actually see the bugs in your bed.

I’ll send you over some duct tape.
Then you can give Sarah a leg up & she can tape it shut it for you…

After reading that comment, I think that maybe Carrie is not really your friend after all. Just a thought…
I was about to give you the concoction that Amber S. commented for getting rid of them.
