is there any more horrifying sound than the high-pitched keen of a mosquito on the hunt for blood?????....i've been working in the yard all afternoon and because of the rain we've had in the midwest, the mosquitos are runnning the country. i see them , i hear them, i swat them, i will them away, (and i do eat lots of garlic which i hear helps a bit) - but MAN!!!! - especially in the shade - they obviously don't like the heat either. i think every 10-15 seconds one would fly under the brim of my baseball cap...hence the high pitched keening noise....to make matters worse, nellie spent almost the whole time barking. i let her out a time or two but it's way too hot for her to just hang out so she stands on the inside of the door and barks, and barks....
anyway - i'm doing all this because we have a family reunion here on saturday and i have to get this place shaped up a bit. after 2 appointments this morning, and a very delightful birthday luncheon with all my tennis buddies, i came home and hit it hard and i'm DONE with the outside - i still have to bring in some flowers friday or saturday. now...for the inside! - yikes! - i'm writing all this to explain why i probably won't be able to post anything for a couple days -i'll be very lucky to be able to find time to pick up a paintbrush...and as i learned early on in this daily blogging business...sometimes life just gets in the way! lyb
