Don't pass up a "sign"
The question was asked "Would you ever consider living in the best kept secret in Southern Indiana"? "Oh, I don't know.....

Looking forward to Autumn~in a way. I don't really mind the heat but we have had tons of heat this summer...I say tons because heat in Indiana feels heavy..and it feels heavy on your body...making it difficult to walk...your thighs stick together and your legs feel so heavy you can barely put one foot in front of the other... you look and feel like you are walking through water...in slow motion. It makes you sigh and your neck feel damp and drippy and then the mosquitos come and feed on your damp, hot, heavy, drippy skin. They like to gather on my wrists and ankles in particular...these Black Asian Tiger mosquitoes that have little white rings around their legs like they have stripey socks on. Oh, how I long to just sit outside on my swing during the day and evening without the sheen of mosquito repellent on my skin. But no, I have to be a shiny bauble slick with DDT or whatever is in this repellent spray so that I can just go out and fill the bird and squirrel feeders. I know they see me coming and they just hope in their little black heads that I have forgotten to spray the crap on me so that they can have a nice big swig of fresh, non-repellent blood. Doesn't matter what time of day or night it is, these little stripey vampires are out and about. They seem to love the bright, hot sunshine. Darned if I know why. So I am looking forward to a little cooler weather just so that I can sit outside and enjoy the endless blue skies that we have been having since April and so that I will no longer be a picnic basket for a nit!
