Mosquitos love me. Unfortunately, I do not love them back. The mosquitos out here are like bad ex-boyfriends on steriods, they keep coming back for more and it drives me crazy. They're seriously at least twice the size as the mosquitos in CA. Each morning I wake up with new bites that swell up and take 2 weeks to disappear. Derrick's grandma told me to spray a mixture of 1/2 listerine and 1/2 dish soap around me and it should keep them away. I haven't tried it out yet because it sounds like an odd smelling mixture and I don't really feel like walking around smelling like the break room in a dentist office. Any anti-mosquito suggestions are greatly appreciated.
After 3 days of thunderstorms and tornado warnings the sun finally came out to say hello. I went to my favorite spot in the park today and took pictures of flowers and birds. It's so peaceful in the park. Yesterday I sat in my car listening to the birds when a deer came walking out of the woods into the parking lot and then into a field of flowers. Of course I didn't have my camera with me. Today I saw; American Goldfinches, Red-Winged Blackbirds and Cardinals. My field guide to North American birds is really coming in handy.
