According to schedule this should have been Spring but I think Mother Nature muddled up her time table this year because it seemed to have jumped straight from Winter to Summer skipping the season of merry blossoms altogether. It seems impossible that barely few days ago I was huddled under the blanket at night and now I can not bear to be in a room with out the fans turned on.
With the advent of summer another thing is back along with the heat and that thing is none other than the arch enemy of mankind’s night time slumber, commonly referred to as the MOSQUITO.
After a particularly disturbing night I was reminded of a long ago conversation I had with a friend who lived on the 15th floor of a high rise building. Since mosquitoes have limited flight capability I had assumed, somewhat naively, that our friend’s family would be safe from their persistent nocturnal attacks.
Not so, he told me, “We suffer at their hands just at much as you guys do”
But how on earth did they reach his high floor, I had asked him.
“Same way every body else does”, he retorted in an exasperated voice, “They take the elevator to which ever floor they want to go to”
It was such a comfort to know everyone suffers the way we do.
So Coils, repellants, nets, sprays and every thing else that had been so gratefully put aside during winter months is back in action again.
What a way to welcome summer.
