Guess that's enough for now! Eleanor

Eleanor - what a beautiful place you have! I can see why you miss it all when it's covered with a blanket of snow!

Wonderful photos, everyone.

Beautiful, Eleanor! No skeeters at night? I wish I could sit out.

Go ahead

After you, good buddy.

I think we need a part 2...would you do the honors?

Yes, there are skeeters at night and also all day long. It doesn't matter what time of day they are out and hungry. On the deck it is not as bad as on the ground though. And then there are black flies and those gnat type flies. Gee, I don't even know why I go outside. No skeeters and black flies in the winter - guess winter isn't so bad after all!! Eleanor

Ok, part 2 has been started, keep those WARM pictures coming.
