Got Flies?

Along with the summer heat in sunny California comes the beloved black bugs. I absolutely can’t stand these things. To solve the problem my clever mom bought two little Venus Flytrap plants.

I had never seen one of these before, except in cartoons (don‘t laugh). Compared to the cartoons they are actually very small plants. This was a great purchase because now the boys spend hours catching the flies and ‘feeding’ them to the plant. They are really good at it. So it was well worth the money ($10). It provides entertainment for the boys and solves the fly issue.
