I sat by some hibiscus vines today, that are stretching into my herb garden in the porch, well actually they were there, I just decided it was a sweet spot for my garden. Anyways, there are these crazy huge carpenter ants that if I wasn't saying, "Brooke you wouldn't be freaking out if they were little hummingbirds" in my head, I would have freaked out a bit and moved seats. They minded their own business and went about meticulously cutting away pieces from a fallen hibiscus flower, pulling, tugging, and moving the pieces to wherever they take them. I grabbed a few petals and broke them off and gave them to the ants, as in a gesture to help them out. They had nothing to do with what I gave them. Stubborn ants. 
I am at fault for this very thing. It is very difficult to accept someones kindness and push aside some of your stubbornness...but at the same time- there is no greater power than self-determination.
The funny thing about carpenter ants is that though they are stubborn, they are determined and get the job done.
Finding the balance is key. Still I bet that the carpenter ants house is AMAZING. :)
