I live sort of in between :-) I do hope it doesn´t get to hot over at Yours!<br /><br />I can see no reason why You should mess that up! From what I´ve seen so far You have no problems handling that spray paint, on the contrary! Just go on with slow and easy moves and You´ll do fine!<br /><br /><br />I wouldn´t wish anyone to have these kinds of flies. I can imagine how bad it must be for all those animals that can´t hide from them! But the flies lives just a short time and then they´re gone. I wish that was now :-) :-) :-)<br /><br />Have a great day now!<br />Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-3273755323221024032010-07-11T06:10:34.101+02:002010-07-11T06:10:34.101+02:00Hi Beatrice!

If you sent some - THANKS! After so many days of being told by forecasters that there was a chance of thunderstorms or showers, it is finally pouring rain. Thankfully there have only been some small rumbles of thunder and no lightning. It's certain, the garden and vegetables are happy (finally) because this rain is supposed to continue for awhile. It's not a downpour, but just a nice, steady rain. Guess this means we will have to cut grass again this week. It was very humid this morning, but may cool down with the rain.Beatrice P.

I guess there are HORSE flies out in the rural areas but luckily I haven't seen any. I'm always out in my backyard area, where the dogs play and potty, scooping "poop"! That's what can attract flies to my yard, so I try to make sure to get it scoop as quickly as possible! <br />Take care! - CindiCindi Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475347748831862659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-10029912720864378352010-07-10T13:51:57.533+02:002010-07-10T13:51:57.533+02:00Hej!

I år blir det mycket löshö, remmen till balaren gick av, vi har en vanlig balare här blir det inga bondeägg/snigelkonserver. Gubbarna har fått ordentligt med motion av att trampa hölass. Här blåser det ganska rejält så det är inte så mycket otäcka flyfän. Men hästarna ville in, så nu är dom inne där det är betydligt svalare än ute.<br />Du kan väl inte ha svårt att hitta intressanta saker om dig. Jag kommer ihåg alla dina roliga historier från trädgårdsbloggen. Vissa pratar vi om än.<br />Ha en bra dag!Vittranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502013313819491882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-18766452989939105792010-07-10T13:17:31.846+02:002010-07-10T13:17:31.846+02:00I'm amazed at the size of the flies you have i...I'm amazed at the size of the flies you have in Sweden.
