It's that time of year -- again. . .

Now that we're going on our second year here at the hotel, we're starting to notice things and then we think back and say: "Remember when we thought that was real weird?"

Now it's not so weird, but interesting nonetheless. We missed the peak of the cicada season (think giant houseflys that buzz and bang themselves silly on the windows) but we're back in time for another type of bug. It's about the size of a regular fly, but the wings are dark and leave a residue kind of like a moth when you swat them. Right now, they're pretty much everywhere.

If memory serves, this should carry on for about two weeks, then they will be gone. Not sure if they die, move along to another place or what.

Coming up next should be critters that don't fly, but crawl and they'll invade our house in a month or so, I believe. Oddly enough, they don't end up in the tree houses, just in our house down on the ground.
