Weather station

My wife got me an electronic weather station for Christmas and Mother Nature gave it a work out the last few days, we got a bit over three inches of rain between Thursday and Friday, I know we had a drought last year I guess we are making up for it all at once.

We are two and a half inches above normal for the year so far, everything  is green and wet it looks to be a good year this year.

Bugs

The one part of spring I hate is that the bugs come out and start to harass the humans, we here in the south get ants, ticks, flies and a plethora of other bugs all coming at us all spring and summer. We spray, swat and trap to our exhaustion we even bought a bug zapper so we could try to use our yard in the spring but even that fails to give us any protection.
