I've noticed since the big rain, the air is choc a bloc with BILLIONS and BILLIONS of flying insects. [View all]

I just mowed half of the back lot. Had to skip the rest because I was driving through CLOUDS of bugs. Not sure I've ever seen anything like this. I might wait until it rains to check if there are any more squash ready to be picked.

I'm in Michigan, btw. I don't know how they are even able to fly. The humidity is 65% and the dew point is 62%. It feels like you can practically drink the air. Well, if you enjoy ingesting bugs, that is.

Weeding can wait. I deserve an adult beverage after that experience.
