The Black Flies

The black flies have attacked.  I have a bite on my scalp and on the back of my neck.  Boy they hurt.  The inject a poison that makes a fairly large welt.  You  don't feel them until after they do their dirty work.  For more on Maine black flies see my post Black Fly Season.  Hopefully the season really will be over by mid July, but with all the rain, I doubt it. 

It may be a few days before I'm back on-line, so I'm going to turn the comments off.  I fly out tomorrow after I drop Isabelle off at her friend Pat's.  Knowing me, I'll be much too jet lagged to do much for a couple of days.
