My friend Becky's blog reminded me of a little incident from last night.  I sat down to watch some TV and snuggle up in a blanket we keep by the couch--which is incidentally by the front door, which Jake likes to sometimes keep open during nice weather.  I wrapped the blanket around me and something tickled my hand.  Thinking it might just be a feather from the down blanket, I didn't think much of it.  Suddenly, something was MOVING on my hand.  I jumped out of the blanket as fast as I could and my eye caught something black moving in the blanket.  I made Jake go over and check it out.  It was an ant--not just any ant--an ant like an INCH long.  I swear it was that big--you can ask Jake.  Have you ever seen such a thing?  Have you ever had such a thing on your hand?  I wouldn't recommend it.  I refuse to use the blanket without thoroughly checking it first.  I suggest you do the same.  Spring is here and so are the insects.
