A warm winter has given us a bumper crop of biting black flies, and it's amazing how good this smells when being outside means having a cloud of the aggravating buggers around your head.
It's also amazing how loud one of these things is when it's walking around inside your ear.
We still have 2 1/2 feet of snow on the ground, so it will be awhile before the biting/stinging kind of insects come out. Between the Piper Cub-sized skeeters (our State bird), black flies and yellow jackets, it's a reason to be glad that summer is a short season here.
The blood suckers are already out here too.
ReplyDeleteI suspect my itching is because of this post...

ReplyDeleteSnort. Snicker. I'll take bugs over snow any day...
DeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteYeah... You live close enough that I know you are blowing them out of your sinuses when you mow the lawn...
DeleteI'll take the smell as long as it works :-)
ReplyDeleteAlso works as a good hair styling hold...
