Yard work

I enjoy working in the yard.  I like cutting down trees, clearing brush, and working in the garden.  Those are some of my favorite things to do.  What spoils the fun, though, are the biting insects.  The ticks, black flies, and mosquitoes really put a damper on the enjoyment.  Not only are the biting bugs a huge annoyance, but they carry diseases too.  Yes, I use skin products that repel them, but once I start to sweat the effectiveness is lessened dramatically.  That is why my wife and I are considering buying one of those new mosquito trap machines.

 

My wife has been “bugging” me (pun intended) to buy one of those ever since she found out about them – about three years now.  I’ve been trying to put her off, but our old bug zapper light machines have finally died and I can’t seem to find any new ones to replace them so it looks like my wife is going to finally get her way and end up with one of those machines.  I know once we get one, we’ll both be more likely to eat our dinners on the back deck, so it will be well worth it.
