Mosquito Ambush

After my walk this evening, I went out to water the garden before taking a shower. Bad move. I've noticed that the hotter I am from working out the more attractive mosquitoes find me.

I was outside less than half an hour and come in with close to 50 mosquito bites on my legs alone. And that was with me constantly slapping at them and washing them off with the hose. I also got two ant bites. Throw in the sweltering heat and I have to say gardening is loosing its appeal quickly.

I have a new batch of garlic oil that has been aging for two or three weeks. Looks like tomorrow I will have to mow the grass down and spray the back yard heavily. I hope they enjoyed their Misty Du Jour, tomorrow they'll be dining on the neighbors.
