Mosquitos

Today it rained. Long and hard. I love a good cleansing rain. Somehow it just makes everything feel great to me. I am grateful for rain.

On thursday night we had a big movie night and projected it onto the side of barn. We watched on old school favorite, Better Off Dead. Wow, wasn't that an interesting movie to watch years later? We had a blast, of course. Until the next day that is. I found that mosquitos had found a way into my pants. I wore jeans, and shoes and socks to avoid the little monsters but still managed to accumulate more than is good for me. They are suddenly quarter sized and itch like i have never itched before! It is crazy! I wake up in the middle of the night because these itch so bad. Cortizone and vicks are my best friends with a healthy hot compress when it is more than I can bear. I have never itched so bad from mosquitos! I feel like a kid who can't control the urge and who scratches off the tops so that they are now scabs. Hello long skirts for the next few weeks.
