I can usually work around the heat by going out early, but the mosquitoes are keeping us inside. I don't know why they are so bad this year. There is no standing water anywhere on my property. I even went to the vacant house next door and looked all over their yard. Shoot, we haven't had enough rain lately to have standing water. But, they are horrible. And there have been deaths from West Nile to the north and south of us. Maybe here, but they don't report things in our town. I don't care how much mosquito spray I put on them (and me), the blasted things still light. And then you have to come in and wash the kids down to get the mosquito spray off of them. I open up the house with the long hallway, and we run races and push strollers and go a little crazy. It's the best I can do for now.
