Why? Why do we continue to live in Maine? What are the benefits? Zero!
In the winter we deal with the biting cold of sub-zero temperatures and blowing snow, in the spring we deal with the joys of mud season, in the fall we have to rake all those damned leaves...
Is it just me, or does the black fly population seem EXTRA heavy this spring. I know we deal with it every year, and the amount of rain we have received certainly doesn't help, however, this is BAD! I could hardly even mow the lawn last night with my eyes open- those things get trapped in your eyelashes...
