My Brugs think it is Fall, they are dropping leaves & buds like crazy. We have had thick smoke (Isn't this why the dinosaurs died?) for nearly a month or more, the sun is just a red ball in the sky. Most days there's not even a shadow. Not to mention our own lungs & eyes. Also the mites seem much more stubborn this year than in years past. Usually Avid does the trick, I have sprayed twice in 4 weeks & still having problems, tho, I'm almost out & it IS 3 years old. I also tried Anti-stress 2000, & didn't find it to work too well. Not much anyone can do about the smoke, as long as the fires are going. We have fires on 3 sides so get smoke no matter which way the wind blows. None are very close to us thank goodness!
We are calling this the "Summer of the Red Sun" This pic was taken last fire season, I haven't even taken any this year yet.
Let's hope they get these fires out soon so we can have a normal end to summer.
Hack, hack, cough! ;[
