So it Begins - My least favorite part of the year

Today in north Alabama highs are in the 80s. To your average Joe this is great news. Sun is shining, weathers warm. Not for me. I am very hot natured. I doesn't take much for me to sweat. In the winter I will open my windows (don't worry they have screens) and wrap up in a comforter and it is just right.

Spring and summer however is a different story. I enjoyed the way the cold stuck around this year til late March. However, I might be paying the price with a limited spring.

Another bi-product of the warmer weather is the insects. Bees, wasps, hornets and mosquitoes are the bane of my existence during these warmer months. I cannot sit at an intersection with my car windows down with them making a beeline (no pun intended) for my windows. I have had people actually mock me when I react to a wasp or bee coming near me. My response is always "Would YOU want to stand there and get stung?"

So if I happen to be in a bad mood between now and October (because that's how long it lasts here) you may already know the main culprit: wasps from the sun.

On the upside: BASEBALL!
