Ahhh Summertime.......

The sprinklers are going, the neighborhood kids are playing, and the bugs are biting! It was blazing hot here today and although I only ventured outside a few times, I was bitten by yellow flies. These tenacious little demons make life along the creek miserable during the month of June. I've read all sorts of ideas for distracting them. I think the best method is to stay inside in the air conditioning and get a little house work accomplished. Thankfully, I'm not allergic to these vampires. They just make me call them bad names and itch like crazy. At least the Dollar Store is making money--since we are buying out all their supplies of "Off" bug spray. Here is a lovely photo of the villain I've been complaining about. Do you think I used enough adjectives to describe him?
