I often run into people who tell me, “I just drove through your town. Looks like the aliens landed there.”
What are they talking about? In case you don’t know, here’s a picture.
Yes, I wear one of these nets. I have the head version, and a few years ago, I bought my dream outfit—the jacket. What can be more stylish? What has caused people to adopt this snazzy clothing? Simple. Those little annoying black flies sometimes called the May fly. They first appear at the end of April and grown into swarming blood suckers or mini vampires.
If you’re unconvinced, look at the next photo.
Okay, this might be a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much. Ah, spring. The birds have returned and are singing. Flowers bloom. Trees bud. The weather warms and tempts you to throw caution to the wind. You abandon your coat and long pants. You put on shorts, but beware. The insects are lurking, and the population is ready to explode.
Unfortunately, sprays or lotions often have no impact on the horde of bugs all interested in YOU. What should you do? Well, you can stay indoors or visit your local entomologist for advice or become one of us with our net attire. BTW, there’s a rumor a little old lady in town started sewing bug outfits and made millions of dollars. Easy for me to believe.
Now as I sit inside, I start writing my chapters slowly trying to weave together characters, plot, setting and then the words swarm onto the page until I reach the conclusion. However, my sentences are much prettier and have a nicer effect than those winged pests.
So, if you plan to visit New England this season, check out the extraterrestrials or better yet, grab a book and enjoy it on a screened porch. Here are my most recent. Available on Amazon.
Until we meet again, Happy Reading, My Friends. ~Nora
