I hate going outside ....
Jul. 28th, 2020 09:47 pm.... I do not like gardening. I don't care how many gardeners think that I can't possibly be serious. Argh Argh Argh Argh ARGH.
I have mobility issues, so dragging hoses around the yard, and trying to get sprinklers to sprinkle things like plants instead of me or the house - ARGH.
But the real deal breaker is mosquitos. I am the yummiest thing in the whole solar system and I bet Saturnian mosquitos vacation here just for the chance at a chomp at me.
So. Rainy early summer, but now hot dry, so must move sprinkler from one place to another each evening so that it can do a real good soak overnight. I covered myself in OFF. I wouldn't even touch my girls because I'm so toxic - and I got bitten five times in 30 minutes, and more rode inside on my clothes. My soggy clothes, which, yes, had been sprayed with OFF.
