My ants seem to not have any reaction to borax. Maybe they have grown smart to my home remedies. We are trying out the Terro it is supposed to be relatively safe and I believe it is made out of borax. Only time will tell. They are definitely trying it out. I can't help but feel a little bad for them it made me think of how I slipped up and ate pizza this weekend and have spent the last 2 days with a terrible upset and bloated belly from the gluten. I imagine the ants all sitting around together with bloated tummies and not feeling well. Oh my there goes my imagination again.....
I have been reading out of the book of James which has been so encouraging after a difficult week.........Dear brothers and sisters when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete needing nothing. James 1:2-4
Here are some snapshots of Joy from our week........I am hoping you would never know we had the flu ....sugar ants.....Adrian traveling.....migraine for 2 days.......and trust me the list goes on!
But hey God was with us every step of the way and when we looked for him we found lots of unexpected blessings....joy, peace, and endurance for all our trials. Was it easy to find Joy in a week like this? No absolutely not. But we have hope so instead of giving up we turn our faces toward God, and we find all these little blessings just waiting there for us, and the amazing thing is we even have some extra to share!
New Muscovy Duck Eggs!
Some Beautiful Farm Animals....
A chance to pretend we are in the jungle with some new plants.....
Some new plants on our patio making it feel so special.....
A new Recipe Peruvian BBQ Corn on the Cob Yummy!!
And some yummy gluten free cookies for my tea time this week so hopefully I can avoid any more tummy aches........
This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
Bravo Heather! Finding Joy in the trials is exactly what we must do every day of our lives.

blessings dear friend,

ps: a bit of a note...sugar ants will also respond well to boric acid but what I like to use is pennyroyal oil or mint oil. You put some on a rag and pass it on all the corners where the ants are coming in or walking through your counters.
This is absolutely harm free to pets and children.
