There's a possibility we'll end up somewhere in New York State in the nearish future (she said, hedging her bets and being vague, whilst touching wood).

Although LB2 did pick up a firefly last night....<br /><br />Knackered Mother - Popsicles seem to be a cure for everything! Maybe like wine for adults?<br /><br />Deer Baby - I am not good with insects either. I still scream when a wasp lands on me....<br /><br />Expat Mum - Ah, now I know what chiggers are. I have always wondered, as they are mentioned about on my can of bug spray...<br /><br />Uly- thanks for the recommendation. We may have a popsicle addiction in the house now. <br /><br />Mwa - it was just rather surprising, the two things happening in one morning. And bizarre!<br /><br />Corina - the insects do seem to be out in force at the moment. Maybe they're being driven crazy by the heat?<br /><br />NB - Too right. The mosquitoes are terrible as well as we head into August....I'm really looking forward to a brief respite in the UK.nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-43048795582354830072010-08-03T08:23:34.442-04:002010-08-03T08:23:34.442-04:00Bloody hell...it's a jungle there...Bloody hell...it's a jungle there...Nota Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969705852180234416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-47996928425632755762010-08-02T20:45:15.377-04:002010-08-02T20:45:15.377-04:00How do the critters know to bite the weakest?

She ran screaming around the deck away from me, the thought of my first aid kit somehow scarier than the pain of the chunk that had been removed from her neck? Then a mere 3 days later she falls from her trike at school camp... glad I wasn't there for that. Then to top it off on the same day she was then stung by a bee. I need a doctor just to sedate the kid.<br /><br />WV ously.
