Today we have 100% humidity and it's not even raining. Wowzers! The sun is finally breaking through the fog/misty stuff though so that's good!! Even Olivia has a kink to her fur or it could be frizz! Oh well we all suffer from the perpetual feeling of stickiness together. It's part of what keeps Nova Scotian's close! The fun part on days like this is trying to decide what's worse the clamminess/closeness or the black flies. Do I want to put bug spray on? I already feel like I've been rolled in Post-it Note stick. But the flies seem even more attracted to you - so then your sweaty and you have to either wear your black fly hat/net or spray or both. For such a small insect they do cause me great distress. Yes they are worse than mosquito's! These little critters are very creative. They don't just bite your ankles around your sock they will actually crawl up your pant leg and bite you wherever they want. Even the thickest jeans do not stop these little biters!
Of course it smells like heaven out there! Lush and green and yes you can smell the flowers, it wafts up to you as soon as you step outside. The grass is green and the flowers gorgeous - our Holly bushes are growing nicely. The geranium flowers are so big I don't know how the little stick of a plant holds them up. In an attempt to bring the outdoors in I have bought some beautiful plant pots at Costco and filled them with plants for my bedroom. The pots are bright colours and have flowers on them with some of the nicer looking bugs... ladybugs, dragon flies and butterflies. On gloomy days I will have some brightness in my room just the same. I even bought some cactus' - touch wood I seem to be having better luck with them now.
Well the sunshine and the outdoors is calling - I must head it's call!
