The Death of The Nile

Yes, our Nile River is long gone. :( It's actually been gone for a few weeks but I forgot to mention it because there were too many other thoughts on my mind. We had a really nice, sunny day in the midst of many freezing ones a few weeks back. I thought it would be good for the grass to sit in the sunshine, so I let it sit on the driveway for the day. That evening, I brought it back in. A few days later, there was a small fly buzzing around the kitchen. I killed it. The next day, there were a few more flies. I noticed the flies were hovering over the Nile, and it hit me -- a fly had laid eggs somewhere in our fertile crescent! MAN! Anyone else who builds a Nile River, do NOT put the thing outside. Let it stay inside where it can be enjoyed a little longer...
