Today was the first day that I could feel how terrible the Mosquitos were. There is a several week grace period between winter and bug season in which the outdoors feel like paradise. I am sorry to say it, but that grace period has now come to a close, and bugs are in full force. There are all kinds of repelents out there that supposedly keep mosquitos away, but all that it feels like you are doing is coating yourself in a dressing and becoming a bug buffet. I feel the mosquito invasion full force as a result of living next to a vernal pond, and I must say ITS NO PICNIC!
