The Thing About Pests

Blending in

I don't know if the overabundance of flies we have this season is due to the copious amounts of precipitation we got in September, but the flies are still out and about, pestering the heck out of Becca and me.  She's snapping at them constantly, and I'm swatting at them with both hands.  After they orbit my head several times they stop, and I know they're hitching a ride on my ball cap where I can't feel them.  Every once in a while I'll wave my hand over my hat and they'll start orbiting all over again.  Grrrrr!  By the way, on occasion Becca will catch one and get the "bitter insect" expression on her face.
