See those plants in the background of the picture below? Those are bromeliads. Here's a closeup. They have lovely flowers, but they're also natural traps for rainwater, and we had gallons yesterday.
That means mosquitos, and boy am I chewed. We're looking at having deck repairs done, and that involves showing contractors around. I never remember to use Off or an equivalent before I do that, and I always pay a price. Why do mosquitos love ankle-flesh so much?

My husband is constantly being chewed up by these little bastands. He is heavy and the estrogen hides inside the fat. A great excuse to lose weight....
