Flies!

Perhaps not, but something is hatching. In the little courtyard we have, there are all of these small “flies” going around. I know their something that hatched over the last week or so given all the warm weather, but there’s tons of ’em!

I am assuming this is a Central Virginia phenomenon, much like the ladybugs that decided to camp out in my bedroom over the winter. “Don’t worry about them,” said a friend of mine, “that’s a Central Virginia thing.”

Of course, we never had ladybugs in Caroline County. Just tons of crickets, frogs, ticks and mosquitos. I do remember one unseasonably warm year on the farm where the mosquitos came out, then a terrible cold snap. That summer, there were notably fewer mosquitos outside.

Hopefully, everything that is a nuisance is hatching… and we’ll get a foot of snow to finish them off!
