Yesterday, ben and I tried to stain and seal the deck. Unfortunately for us, huge storm clouds rolled in about an hour after we started. Only 15 minutes worth of rain came down, but it was enough to soak the deck and put an end to our work. I was extremely unhappy. And then I discovered that deck stain had found its way on my favorite hoodie. I am really really unhappy.

Right now I have so many mosquito bites, I am having a histamine overreaction. My entire body itches. Not just the spots that have been bit. There are too many mosquitoes in my new neighborhood. I think I need to buy stronger bug spray. The stuff I'm using is only 25% DEET. I'll need to find a store with a camping section and find the 100% stuff. That worked really well last year. (But bleached all my clothes.) I hope I have benadryl or something similar at home. I don't think I'll be able to sleep like this...

Maybe you could put up some bat houses, to try to attract some to your area?

Bat houses are actually already on the to-do list. I'm having trouble figuring out where I would put them. But I already picked out the bat house I want to buy! Cause bats are wonderful and eat mosquitoes and stink bugs, all while looking super cute!
