We moved to a house on a lake when I was 7. It sounds nice until you factor in the Florida part of it. It's a lake from November-March. It's a mosquito swamp for the rest of the year. Sometimes I think I can hear them laughing at me outside my window.Mary Elisabethhttp://www.thewanderingbelle.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-87459908417666777862013-08-02T14:07:50.064-04:002013-08-02T14:07:50.064-04:00I like that dress.

But then bugs don't bite me as much as they do other people. I went YEARS (like, since I was 10 or 11) without getting a mosquito bite, and then I got two in Spain last year. Then this year I've gotten dozens. So I'm not sure what it is either. And I am not pregnant, nor do I have Type O, nor do I eat bananas (another theory I've heard). <br />I do have ninja-skin, though, and I often feel them and then kill them. Most times I'm out in the evenings I have an equal number of carcasses to bites on my legs/arms.Gescinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-47274753752912738342013-08-02T13:46:10.602-04:002013-08-02T13:46:10.602-04:00I've been getting attacked by mosquitoes a lot...I've been getting attacked by mosquitoes a lot this summer, and it's so annoying! I wish that we could sit outside as it cools down in the evening, but my citronella candles are useless, and, well, we all know how that ends. I've read that certain plants and flowers are natural mosquito deterrents, so I might try that for the rest of this month or next summer.Sarah // The Quixotic Chicahttp://thequixoticchica.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-58162659633749830692013-08-02T13:09:21.905-04:002013-08-02T13:09:21.905-04:00http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100721/full/466432...http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100721/full/466432a.html<br /><br /><br /><br />don't read the comments. if you do, you'll want to go to the commenters' houses and let a flock of mosquitos loose in their bedrooms UNDER THE COVERS.
