It's too early!  Way too early for mosquitoes to be out
and about.  And, to be so BIG!

Decided I needed to take a break from working on my
father's history this evening and thought a quick
walk around the neighborhood would energize me.
The weather was so nice, cloudy, no wind, and
warm temperatures.

Coming back home I stopped to chat with a friend
and couldn't believe the mosquitoes that immediately
surrounded us. They must have been starving the
way we were attacked.  These little critters have always
found me tasty from the time I was little and
tonight was no different.  I have several huge welts
on my arm to prove it and they have been itching
like crazy.  I put some anti-itch cream on the bites and
covered them with band aids to tone down the
itching and to keep me from scratching them.  I
think it is finally beginning to work.

Guess I won't be able to go walking in the early
evening anymore unless there is a breeze.
Hopefully the Mosquito Abatement will be out
soon spraying before these little HUGE bugs
overtake us.

  1. I didn't know they still spray for mosquitos. Don't think I wanted to know that. Bugs mean birds. Poisoned bugs mean........On another note, try essential oil of lavender for those itchy bites! Also good for burns, bumps, and bruises, as well as soothing for headaches and a great stress reliever!!
