…comes with many pleasures. One being I have this beach to go jogging on, 1.6 miles of sand and water each way.
There are also its downsides.
Public enemy #1 is the mosquito. We all know what they do. My poor babies are covered in bites.
Jade’s enemy #1 is the fire ant. She has them back home in Texas too so she knows how to avoid them. I can always tell when one is on her though, that scream is different from any others. TTL she hasn’t been bitten since arriving.
Adrian’s enemy #1 is the gnat (a.k.a. the fruit fly.) Although not equipped with stingers or pincers they fly around irritating you. Poor Adrian had one fly into his eye and got caught between his eyelid and eye. After trying different things to get the gnat out we had to stick Adrian in the bath with water running over his eye to flush the gnat out. An experience which in his own words, “should never be repeated!”

That's your back yard??? Awesome!
Not exactly my back yard, that beach is about 100 meters as the seagull flies from my home. There is a river and a marina in the way though...so to go on the bridge and the roads it's about half a mile from the house.
