The end of summer.

What do you like about the end of summer:

cold mornings, the end of holidays, the grey sky above you?

Only thing I like about the end of summer is the end of flies and mosquitoes for nine or so months. I don’t hate them I don’t even kill them but they are annoying little beings bringing dirt and unnecessary bites.

Our dog is on a raw food diet (ask my girl why) and in summer flies are our best friends , whatever our dog leaves behind ,flies definitely will plant more fly babies( how do you call fly babies?) to come out few days latter.

Mosquitoes is a different story ,entirely.

Ladies bite with no mercy because they need to feed their babies (and how do you call those little bastards? ) , they don’t ask for your agreement to do so , you know.

You leave a window open on a hot summer day and uninvited guests will come to feed on you, just like that , no hi ,no bye and no thank you.

Thank goodness for a cold misery coming our way , I say!

Rain , darkness and cold are our saviours and I can bet you my dogs yearly supply of raw meat that you never thought about those that way!
