In honor of Earth Day today, I took a few photos and a nice little video clip from my walk around Lake Irma with Gizzy this morning.
I hope you can hear the birds singing. I love listening to all those different sounds. When I close my eyes, I can imagine being in a tropical rain forest somewhere. I just don't understand why there are so many mosquitoes with all those birds around. Don't birds eat mosquitoes? I know dragonflies do. Maybe I need to start raising them.

I set my alarm and we headed out early, since I learned that all the mosquitoes in Georgia are now after ME! Apparently it must be open season for DORIS! No matter what I do, they attack me. I sprayed repellent everywhere (or so I thought) but must've missed a spot between my fingers. Well, guess where I got stung? Also, they sting right through my clothes. I give up! For me, resistance is futile. I need a beekeeper's outfit! Or do like I do every summer - go out very early in the morning and then stay inside for the rest of the day! (poor Gizzy)
Here's a picture of Gizzy and I that a friend took when she came walking up with her two dogs.
On the way back home, we saw this log cabin that someone's building around the corner from where I live (they've been working on it for a while)

What a pretty day! Don't you wish there was something simple like a tylenol that you could just take and repel the mosquitoes away from the inside out? I hate having to slather smelly repellant everywhere, especially since it seems to wear off so quickly. And almost all of it is so greasy too.
yeah, me too...that stuff makes my skin itch and burn so that I have to wash it all off after I get back in. Also, since they bite me through my clothes, I have to spray it on all over and I can't get to my back area so that there is always spots that don't get covered and that's where I get bit.
