Mosquitoes

The mosquitoes that are hatching from the flood waters left by Hurricane Debby along the Sante Fe and Suwannee and in every retention pond. We arrived back at the house in the late afternoon of July 4, and before we had turned off the engine the mosquitoes were knocking on the windows waiting for us to get out. This generation is faster and harder to outrun. They sit on the azalea bushes waiting for us to open the front door, and then they rise and move forward in a purposeful cloud. They don't exactly eat DEET for breakfast, but they are determined to do their job.
