Doing a little research, though, told me otherwise. Had I discovered it earlier (before it was so huge), would have been a different story. The fact that their "season" is almost over (and we have had ZERO problems) indicates it's fine to just leave it be for the next few weeks.Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-18227661219297809522019-09-29T19:43:58.709-05:002019-09-29T19:43:58.709-05:00I'm finding myself in long sleeves already.

Maybe October will bring us some fall like temps, but if not I'm totally okay with the extended summer ( usually our Octobers are like that anyway).<br />I'm glad you are choosing to disregard that hornets nest till the first frost. I am severely allergic to bees and things that sting so I know I would not be able to leave well enough alone and I would probably be making a HUGE mistake by knocking it down somehow. Just the thought of it being there would bother me. However, I will think of this post next time I see a hornets nest and remember to just let it be! -MFairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-55133127878369524872019-09-29T15:30:42.416-05:002019-09-29T15:30:42.416-05:00I feel you on the quick summer.
