Buggars!


Friday March 23 2012

Seriously? The first day of spring, it snowed.

The second day of spring, it blew gales.

The third day of spring, we had a good long ride, and afterwards,

the buffalo gnats came out!

Full force. Straight for the ears, driving the horses mad -
pinning ears and swishing tails,

shaking heads,


shoving heads under buddies' tails,

swirling in aggravated tight herds.




We totally skipped spring and went straight to summer - AND GNATS!

ARGHHH!

  1. The bugs are loving this mild weather- I think it's going to be a nasty year for bugs. I think the smudge pots are going to get a workout here.

  2. Please remind me to not move where you live? I HATE buffalo gnats!
