Each year at about this time, we have to watch out for little ants who like to march through a crack under a radiator and come to invade our kitchen. The landlord discovered some powder or other a couple years ago which discourages them from coming into the house, so they weren't a problem last year. Still, it's a good idea to keep the kitchen clean so we don't get Formicidae amongst the foodstuffs.

Somebody left an open package of cheese on a counter overnight.

This morning, a scouting party of little insects was patiently investigating that counter.

They, a bunch of hungry ants, were completely ignoring the cheese.

If I ate that brand of cheese, I'd be a little scared right now.

In other news, the sun is shining! It shone a bit yesterday too, even coming out long enough to give the clouds some color at sunset. Wasn't a spectacular sunset, but with all the rain and overcast and gloom it was the first proper sunset we've had in a long while. Naturally, tomorrow we're scheduled to have rain again. I do like rain, but one does grow tired of seeing no colors that aren't grey.
