Moths

They grow moths big in central PA. I have seriously never seen moths as big and hairy as the ones that show up at night time in central PA in mid-August. They dart around the light and dive bomb you as you try to get into the house after letting the dogs out at night. There's just mothing you can do about it. (did you see what I did there?)

It's always this mad dash to get all of us and the dogs in the house in one very fast movement so no moths get in the house. Last night was a close call because Lily is so long that the back 1/3 of her body almost didn't make in the door before it closed. Luckily Lily made it in and the moth stayed out. Thankfully she took a flying leap into the mudroom at the last minute or else this blost would be written very differently.

The Pensyls put in their window air conditioner on the last day of that heat wave in July, but there was these tiny little space that moths would fly in. About two weeks ago the bedroom was covered in creepy hairy moths so the air conditioner came out (since we had only used it like three times), we vacuumed up the moths and life has been relatively moth free since.

The other night there were two in the bathroom while I was getting washed up. I grabbed the nearest magazine and then we had two dead moths in the bathroom while I was washing up. I disposed of the corpses in the garbage can and went on with my life. The next night I was in the living room and Marc was back taking his shower - a short while later I notice Marc keeps walking from the mud room to the bedroom and back again. I finally ask him what's he's doing and he informed me that there was a moth in the bathroom so he opened up the window and took out the screen to let it fly free into the night, but when he did that another flew into the bathroom, so he put the screen back in and was carrying the moths from the bathroom outside to the back porch. I was so touched by his kind and caring heart that I didn't tell him I've just been killing them with the nearest object to me for the past few weeks. I don't want him to think less of me. I'm already the super insensitive one out of the two of us, I can't be adding fuel to the fire, you know?
