Those Summer Gnats

Gershon, It was actually what we call a fruit fly. They are so aggravating here in the summer and fall because we bring produce from the garden into the house which they come in unnoticed then become a nuisance. That is an interesting word stang. It can mean sting, to ride a rail and pang (a sharp piercing pain or emotional agony). We could use that one in our poetry. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Victor, We have mosquitoes here as well but they are worse some years than others. I can't go outside at all when they are really bad because they just love to eat on me. I appreciate the comment. Sara

Jack, Drowning victim in a nice hot cuppa. I hated to have to throw that cup away. LOL..Thanks for the visit. Sara

Thank you, Connie. I am glad that we don't have them as bad as in some places. Sara

Thank you, Mystic. I appreciate the time spent here. Sara

Why, thank you, Harry. On ordinary days we need to come up with something. It was just an ordinary day. Your comments always are uplifting. Sara

Sotto, We bring in produce from the garden and now some pears from the orchard, with those comes those gnats or fruit flies. They are so aggravating. Spraying doesn't get rid of all of them nor does swatting them. LOL..Thanks for the kind words. Sara

Gnats are very "housebound"; I know of a pueblo ruin unlikely to ever be excavated or looted because gnats by the millions will dine on anything coming to the doorstep! Aloha!

Rico, I guess if it died in my coffee, I could turn around and cook it for lunch if it were a lemming. LOL..Sara
