My mom asked me the other day if I ever write negative things in this blog. I generally try to keep this blog pretty positive. I like to write posts that remind me that my life is full of adventures. But today I will make an exception. I will write about something I hate: Japanese Beetles.
I hate Japanese Beetles. I hate how they skeletonize the plants they eat. I hate finding their grubs when I dig in the garden. I hate controlling them by hand picking them off.
I’m actually a little happy that I gave up on the garden this year because of the drainage issues. Otherwise I think I would be spending every evening trying to kill off some of the population.
These annoying bugs are just one more reason why I need to get some chickens and relatively soon. I guess Chickens love to eat them.

Gross. I hope your chickens are able to get rid of them!
I hear ya! I HATE them, too! Wish I had $1 for everyone I’ve picked off my morning glories this year alone!
