Apr 17

Good Morning.

Finally the weather dude on the tele, says it's supposed to warm up. Just what I've been waiting for. I can go out in yard and do my chores without the parka. I have seen an increase in the number of Robins flying around, so spring must really be here. No flies yet though. With the warm weather, all the bugs will burst into a flurry of activity. Some will bite. Some will simply fly around and make more bugs. I'm not sure how many of them fly around and make new bugs at the same time. I know bees fly around and make new bees at the same time. Well...that's a whole different topic. I don't care how many of our local bugs are capable of flying and reproducing at the same time. All I know is, the flies are coming. The gnats will not be far behind. The mosquitoes mix it in every where they can. Did you know that it is the female mosquito that bites us? She needs your blood to lay her eggs into. The males have but one job and they don't bite. They never even try to bite. Well, that's your entomology lesson for the day.
