Yikes! We may have a lot of snow, but no evil spiders or fire ants! One spring my entire basement was wall to wall millipedes and that was gross. We were literally sweeping them up by the trash bag full and taking them out to feed the chickens. I weeded around the house and put down diatomaceous earth and we haven't had a problem with them in years.
Also, those darn pantry moths..they also can come into your home in dog food or bird seed, and I suspect bulk purchases from our local health food store :/

Wharf Rat, so kind of you to say hello and mention so many - Glad you are at least finding sustenance in both your writing and your cooking!
I confess to looking forward to more songs someday.

I skipped dinner because I was too tired after a very long work day yesterday and I went to bed early but my body said 5 hours was enough sleep and I should be caught up now thankyouverymuch. So here I am wide awake.

And here is a picture of a past dinner to inspire me tonite. Because, who doesn't like a bacon lattice (also good on apple pie believe it or not)? This was a meatloaf though.
