Got black flies or knats or what ever you want to call them here in Lakeville. Every spring, it is wet in my area. I hate most when they get in your eye and you can't get them out. Usually have mud covered hands when you are trying to dig them out. I swallow plenty of them too. Sometimes I wear a headnet but most of the time I just grin and bear it, but it royally sucks. They leave a nice welt too. Feel bad for my dog. I put up with it because I am as fanatical about gardening as I am fishing, enjoy a shovel and dirt under my fingernails as much as catching keepers and am trying to get all my transplanting out of the way so I can concentrate on fishing. Next to come, although they are here now in small amounts are the mosquito's. Man my area is so bad you can't even go into the shade in the day time or they will carry you away. Again I feel bad for the dog. Got to keep up the heart worm pills. I will be putting in my call to the state for free spraying soon. Paul
