Throwback Thursday.
Can't believe this was 10 years ago!
Joanne Sinchuk & I announcing that we were the new co-chairs for SleuthFest 2015. (Florida Chapter of Mystery Writers of America's annual writers conference.)
We wound up running it for 4 years. Exhausting? Yes. But so much fun, too.
For Wordy Wednesday.
They left out a flamboyance of flamingos, but otherwise, a good list.
Don't think I'd want to go into war with the frogs, though. The gorillas? Sure.

Narnia to talk to the animals. I have a lot of questions.
So, for those of you who are up way too early like me.
Couldn't sleep, so got up at 2:30. Figured I'd unpack some more boxes. Made coffee, and while waiting for it, saw something moving along the vinyl wood-like floor.
It was a maggot. There were more. Lots more. Killed 'em as fast as I could, then watched for where they emerged from. Under the DW.
Landlord told me the previous tenants were gross, but yikes. He & his wife cleaned it well before I got here.
I pest sprayed everywhere. Blech
So, taking my lunch break & looking up the reason for the Red Cracker butterfly's name - @stueytheround
The underside of its wings are red! Go figure. Picture shows the undersides. Cool, huh?
If you live somewhere that may be prone by heavy rain, flooding, or ponded water, get yourself some of these “mosquito dunks.” They’re made with bacillus thuringiensis, safe for wildlife, but deadly for mosquito larvae. With a rise in mosquito-borne diseases affecting people and pets, it’s important to be proactive.
