Ant Hills

I have to say, one of the most aggravating things about the south and the most wonderful thing about the north is that once you cross a certain line, there are no more FIRE ANTS! They are just awful. If you've never been bitten by a fire ant, you are not missing a thing. It would be an interesting thing to me to know just how much fire ant killer is sold every year in the south. Personally, I like to pour gas on them and ignite them and watch them BURN BABY BURN!! I HATE fire ants. I have been in personal contact with them WAY too many times to appreciate them. As a matter of fact, Addison met one yesterday and didn't like him any more than I did! Haven't figured out a good purpose for them yet. They build enormous"hills" in your yard that are so frustrating. Just ask my dad!

So, other than the work that they do to build that huge ant hill, I've never given much thought to what they do underneath the ground. Obviously someone has. That's where this video came from. I thought I'd share it with you since I've been rather intrigued by it.

Amazing! And people DOUBT God. Wow! They must have made that cement extremely thin for it to have flowed into all those areas.

the cement thing puzzles me. why? where'd it go?

Anita, that is totally a wonder. Thanks for letting us peek.

Ethan HATES ants. Hope he sees this.

The cement flowed into all the tunnels the ants had made, hardened and then when the dirt was excavated (right word here?) the tunnels were secured and we were able to see the incredible work they do underground! (That's my take of it anyway!)
