Hello, sun! :D Hello, gnats. -_-

After a cold (by our standards at least) winter it's great when things finally start to warm up. It's warm enough now for t-shirts, sandals, and shorts. Of course, with the sun comes the gnats. But that's what you get for living near a marsh. [maybe I'll get to take a picture of the marsh and post it sometime....It really is lovely].

For those of you who don't have gnats where you live, they light on your arms, legs, and any other skin they can get to. Then the acidic liquid on their legs burns tiny bits of your skin and melts it so that they can lick it up with their long tongues.... >_<

Gross, I know. And more than a little painful. But I for one am still grateful for the warm weather. And as for the gnats, it could be a whole lot worse.

Moral of the day: Be content with what you have, and don't complain as much as I do. ;-)
