The sun is peeking over the trees. It is time for Nancy and Scary Sherry to make their escape.
They begin tunneling through the long grass, keeping the fence in sight. The corner should not be far. “I see it!” Nancy whispers, “What in the Sam Hill is that?” Luck is with them. A huge mound stands in the corner. They can use it to climb over the fence.
But wait! Oh, no. It’s a fire ant mound. If you have ever been bitten by a fire ant, you know how bad this is. They like to swarm as a group, releasing a chemical to signal each other to attack.
Scary Sherry whispers to Nancy, ” Be very quiet and walk softly. Vibrations will bring them swarming out.”
After thinking for a while, Scary Sherry comes up with a plan. If they are to use the mound to escape, they are going to have to get rid of the fire ants. They will flood them out.
They make their way carefully to the watering hole – my pool. Scary Sherry warns Nancy to stand to the side and uses her knife to release the water. The water comes pouring out, rushing towards the fire ant mound.
It worked perfectly! The fire ants are gone and Scary Sherry and Nancy waste no time scrambling up the mound and jumping over the fence.
All that is left is for them to follow the fence until they find the front gate. Then they will be safely home.

Lol…ooops, I mean, “Wow! What an adventure!” Good thinking and teamwork too! Love the added pictures but your writing paints it all very well too. WTG! 😉
Thanks Ginny! This all started as a joke and then my sister suggested I do a post. My lawn care man, King, returns to mow on Wednesday and I can’t wait to show him this. He will expecially love the finale!
