infuriates me?, more than gale force winds day after day, more than dial-up connection, even more than people who scratch lottery tickets in the check out line..... those dare little BITING FLIES!!! good thing i don't have close neighbors, they'd have thought i was having some sort of grand mall seizure.. i think the little devils try to latch on so the wind don't blow them away.. I've noticed they are more insistent with their biting when it is going to rain... boy i hope it does, i could use some... I'm going to finish up all my planting today.. and pray for rain.
I've been out digging and scratching since around 7:00 gotta beat the heat.. calling for 90's today.. ..

I got hit last night on both ankles. Little jerks are so tiny, still drew blood! My whole leg started itching like nothing else, thought I'd about come unglued!

Oh Jeanette, I know what yuo mean! This weekend, my granddaughter, Bella, had to be taken to the Er, because her eye wasswollen shut from getting bit by those little flies! She was at some friends home of my Daughter, and they didn't use Skin So soft on her to keep them from bitting her. Poor little thing she still can't open her eye all the way, and her little face is so swollen from those darn things bitting her ! Mostly on her little face!

poor, poor thing.. they seem to get where you missed with the bug stuff... bethany slept out side one night last summer, she sleeps with her feet uncovered like i do.. her poor feet were just chewed up by bugs.. i used a mixture of cold coffee and baking soda.. it looks really gross but it sucks the bug junk right outta there..

Oh I'll have to try that mixture thanks! I was out in the garden last night, and I got chewed up by those darn little flies. They like to bite me on my head. Hhhmmm I think I'll try your mixture on my head, but I won't be going anywhere!
