42. We do occasionally have mosquitoes

They breed in standing water, so if someone in the neighborhood leaves an old tire out or whatever, we'll get a few. And the guy two doors down has a veritable junk yard, so I've see lots more mosquitoes here than I ever did where I used to live.

And because of so many people bringing their dogs from other areas where canine heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes, we now have that to worry about here, too.

But it's not like back in Indiana where we were surrounded by lakes and had a small swamp just on the other side of the hill our house was built in. There, the skeeters would carry you off.


Yesteday we had a dove fly into the house. The BF was all panicky about it, but I calmly got the yellow fuzzy thing for dusting off the ceiling fans and she hopped right onto it and let me carry her to the door. Afterward, he actually said, "Wow. I'm impressed. That actually looked easy." Duh!
