Bloodsuckers...

Went to go grab something to eat and have a picnic a deux in the backyard with big sister earlier. Out there for less than ten minutes and had seven mosquitoes land... There are now seven less of the little buggers in the world. The river is still high and high water usually means more mosquitoes, but the month of June was unseasonably cold, so the bloodsuckers weren't an issue until the hot weather kicked in. I believe we are now in our fifth straight day of beautiful sunny (finally) humid (blech) niceness. Haven't yet brought the little desk fan out, but it didn't cool down much last night as it usually does, so may have to go upstairs and bring it down here so at least there will be some air circulating. (Yeah, I've been here ten years now and I haven't had the old windows replaced and I still don't have screens in them. Sigh.)
