It was so dry for so long, I was beginning to forget about the pesky creatures, but they’re back now, with a vengeance!

Slapping away I made it back into the house and decided to go buy some mosquito repellent, something I’m usually the last person to suggest, but this was different.

Jacob and I drove down to the Pine Peace Mini Mart. On the way I see a guy waving a mosquito wand. Interesting, I guess I’m not the only one the mosquitoes have singled out.

We make it to the store. There are three girls who get to the door at the same time as us. We all enter the store and without a moments hesitation, we all walk right over to the mosquito spray isle, where there are already two more customers checking out the options.

Not cheap either. It was just under ten bucks for a can of spray.

There’s the saying “every black cloud has a silver lining.” I guess the converse is also true.

And this too shall pass.
