Yes, many of us love when it's finally Spring, right? Everything is beginning to sprout or at least it's thinking about it I know there are places that still has to wait for the snow to melt, but under that snow isn't there the buds of the first future flowers? Yes, all those lovely aromas your senses are looking forward to, right? Now to take that whole spring thing to another level. Living in the desert means spring sprung last month , ALL the weeds have already grown to at least mid calf giving me much needed exercise as I attempt to pull them out. Don't even suggest herbicides, I don't use poisons. Then to give Spring it's other side of the coin, ALL of those damn noseeums have hatched, turns out their mommas laid those eggs in fall. How did I know about them? Well, as I pull weeds I've become lunch for so many of them. I cannot use pesticides, I have skin allergies so that is definitely out. So I fix a potion of vinegar, peppermint oil and water which works for a while but I keep forgetting to reapply every now and then You know what the worst part is? Yesterday we got a typical sandstorm and now I have a few new noseeums that found their way indoors, THEY'RE DRIVIN ME NUTS!!! Ok ok, so I was a bit nuts even before they began chewin me up oh well ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally found a photo of my namesake, I found her in 1980 and named her Rebel. I won't ever forget her.
