    We seem to have a lot of lightening bugs this year, too. And flies. And Japanese beetles. (clogging up the pool skimmer.)

    Anemia sucks. (for so many reasons) But at least any cooties trying to get blood out of me this year are gonna go hungry. We really don't have ticks west of the mountains, nor the other icky bugs. Nor poisonous snakes.

    But then, neither do we have sun...

    The Sunshine state is FAR from it this week.
    Most days this week has been intermittant rain..but ALL day yesterday and so far most of this AM.
    I was PLANNING a July 3rd bike ride....darn it... I rarely get a free day for a long bike ride. Maybe by tmorrow we will have some clear skies.

    Lightening bugs...no such thing in FL. One summer I was in Wisconsin and everyone laughed at me--I was so excited to see them! Guess it is too darn hot for them here.

    We have those "no-see-ums". Boy do they bite!
    They should be out full force after the rain when it is all hot, humid & sticky!
