I have been outside many hours lately, cutting grass and setting up the garden. Though enjoying spring’s coolness, it has not all been paradise.

blue moon madness –
swarms of mosquitoes
out to get me
.
biting bugs –
I wonder why
I like gardening
.
too attractive –
I add more scents
to ward them off

I love moving around in the fresh air. But the swarms of biters are not only unpleasant they carry West Nile virus and Lyme disease (ticks)…nevertheless, it’s not likely I’ll stop altogether… I’ll just consider faster ways to work and other solutions when they are having a feeding frenzy.

I have to join in: mosquito slapping/to the beat of the blue moon/spring syncopation
I am glad it is gardening time of year now for many reasons, no matter what the obstacles!

I am glad too but the bugs are a nightmare this year…but I persevere until I have to flee back into the house. When I’m putting in little transplants I don’t even have hands to slap with…not that they care. At one point I was convinced that joining in with the bird whistling was keeping them at bay…not sure it was but I had more fun.

I can so relate to this – I just about need to garden with every square inch of flesh covered

I cover as much as I can too, including face netting but they still find ways to get me…I think the cool and damp here this year is favourable for them.
