A Little Too Much Nature

Yesterday was BEAUTIFUL! Really, one of those days that reminds you why you suffer through the winter and heating bills and outrageous NY State taxes. Spring. Spring is the reward for it all. But... we got home (H and I) yesterday afternoon to find a bat flying around the living room. All well and good, we just left the doors open and went out side. He must have found his way out  since he's not here now. Out side we weeded and swung and generally had a good time :) Upon re entry to our humble abode I noticed... yes they are here already, mosquitoes, in the house! (I hate that, add that to the winter and taxes...) But they are still slow and not as blood thirsty as later in the season so we carry on... A tickling on my thigh during dinner which I assume is an ant (we were weeding) so I shake my self about and think nothing of it... Until later when I go to investigate what I assume is the first mosquito bite of the season and... a tick! The first tick bite of the season, ah mother nature. Spring has sprung!  ( It's still worth it all to be here this time of year! :)

Yes, it's lovely here, too. The lilacs have just blossomed!
Susanna and I found ticks on our girls last week after we went to a local kite fest (in a huge field)...thankfully they were the bigger ones, but still YUCK!
