How the heck has it been almost two weeks of housesitting already? And how is it August?? It's already Friday and I didn't even post my pictures from my Sunday hike until now. Anyway, I went for a walk with the dog that started out nice on a hot-ass day. I put on makeup so I could take some pictures out in the bush. The first few minutes of the walk were lovely. But, sadly, the mosquitoes got worse the further I went. If I stopped moving for more than a couple seconds, I just got swarmed. The trail also got muddier and muddier until I had to turn back. I ended up running a lot of the way back because the mosquitoes were all over me. I probably looked like a crazy person, huffing and puffing and slapping my shoulders and legs and cursing. It was honestly one of the worst walks I've done. I got back to the car sweaty and covered in squished mosquito bodies. My legs are full of bites. Not going there again until everything dries out.
