Well, our weatherman missed the mark again. Last night he warned us that this a.m. we were going to be in for freezing fog. So I go out with Misty this a.m. at zero dark thirty, and yes, it's foggy, which means it's really quite warm. I doubt it's much below 40F.

Today I have the lovely chore of completely cleaning out the tort table in the leopard shed. Last night as I was turning off the lights, I saw that it had red ants in it. I can't see where they're coming from. This table is inhabited by Kim, a three year old deformed leopard that is about the size of a yearling. So Little Kimmy got to spend the night in the house.

I'm going to clean it all out down to bare wood and vacuum it good, then add a layer of DE. Trouble with this, though, is ants come from all angles - from the walls, from the ceiling, etc. so a layer on the floor they can just evade.

After the DE, I'll staple down some sheet plastic and then build it all back in again. There's a shelf of plants on the back wall behind the table, and I'm going to put down ant bait on that shelf. Tom says he has good luck with the Terro ant baits.
