Flies

<< < (3/3)

Not too many deer flies camping this year (thankfully), but the mosquitoes are just the opposite.  Swarms of the damn things, in spite of bug repellant, citronella candles, torches and bug coils.  Lots of rain all summer, and the dry spell usual for this time of year hasn't happened to provide relief.

I don't recall the last time I've seen such green lawns near the end of August.

I'm spending to much time trying to keep up with the grass mowing.  :(

Same here Bernd, the grass is really green, even on the roadsides.

But the flowers don't seem to be doing so well this year and I'm at a loss as to why... :scratch:

Old semi drivers trick that, used to do the same thing driving loads of chickens interstate,
hit the side of the trailer hard enough all the chooks would fly up against the roof nearly lifting
the trailer wheels off the road, never had to worry about  scales at Broadford or Marulan.
Need those flies back please, cos the corks on me hat are getting lonely.

Note to All

We have all been wondering about the lack of flies this summer. I think that I may have figured out why.  :smart:

I seems that the city of Toronto, Ontario had a garbage strike that lasted quite a while. :lol: They had designated places that people could pile their garbage. Apparently this attracted quite a few flies, therefore a shortage world wide.

Now for the bad news. The strike is over and the garbage has all been cleaned up so the flies may be headed home to resume their regularly scheduled pesteful duties. :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

Just thought you'd want to know!  :clap:

Cheers  :beer:
