It boggles the mind the weather we're having. I'll call home and ask what weather they're having and you'd think they were living in England. Here I am— in the office with the door wide open— in my moderately Daisy-Duked cut offs, the sun is shining, the temperature is sea-breezy and mild, and the birds continue to sing... and propagate. Boy are they a'propagatin'.
Encouraging the birds and the uh nudge nudge wink wink propagatin' is one way— the green way— of keeping the bug population down though. From midges (nasty little flea-like things that attack when the-everything-harvest is in full swing) to the big ol' flies, its me wee li'l friends that keep the pests at bay. Well, tolerable at least. So I find little ways to entice them to our lovely garden. From the top-knotch cuisine ("They'll like sausages right?") to the roman style bathing facilities (gotta love those plastic mushroom containers), I'm never a day without them. Even my cat enjoys the bird tea my bathing guests leave behind. Now if I could only find a way to keep the bird excrement down... hmmm....
Speaking of pests, mosquitos have found their way to this little island. Mosquitos???? Hell these things are so big and vicious you'd think I was back in Taiwan.
Bugger.
No pun intended.
