Mosquitoes

Today the mosquitoes came out!!!
It all started at about 3pm. I was pulling dandilions out of the lawn and Ada was assisting. At 3pm precisly the mosquitoes started to swarm. I had 4 bites in a matter of minutes. I looked over at Ada and she was snapping on both sides of her body. Being the smart oposing thumb creature I am I quickly ran for the camping supplies where I dug out the 50% deet solution. After a light layering I put 2 extra sprays on both arms that I smeared on Ada's back. I didn't want to see my dog suffer. A couple hours later Ada and I went for a 2hr hike down to SR14. When we stared Ada had 3 bites on her. When we returned I only had the 4 bites I started with however Ada had 30-40 new bites. Anyhow, we are home and Ada is itchy. I guess the temperature was just right for mosquitoe hatching today. Hopefully the bats living in my chimeny will be out taking care of the problem soon. I did yard work and car washing all day and Greyson did some sort of seal replacements on his car. I tried to get Greyson to play tennis but I think he is tired of getting beat, so I went for a jog down by the river instead.
