With the hot weather coming in this week we decided the screen house will go up today.

That's a nice one zap. Skeeters are crazy this year.



PapaDave so far around the house the skeeters are not reel bad but we have a big warmup coming so that will change.

That looks like a great place to relax.

It is Sav, good shade under some white pine and we always get a nice breeze. This was first on the list of things we did today.

Not anymore Sav, I made it home just in time to see the wind rip it from the base then do a 360 and throw it back in the woods.

Oh Zap. That is terrible. You must be getting the same type of wind we are getting here. It's not a day for bike riding for sure.

High winds here, Springfield Mass. had a tornado go through with roofs torn from houses and some overturned trucks according to the weather channel.


I'll talk with the boss and see if she wants another one.

Bummer, but I'm glad there wasn't more damage. Any trees come down?
 
So sorry to see what happened to your wonderful portable room....glad it was that and not your house!

Wild winds have certainly been reeking havoc this spring.

Glad no one was hurt and just maybe the wind took some of your mosquitoes with it!
 
That is unfortunate.If your place is like mine you need a screen house in the evenings(the mosquitoes will carry you away). There was some strong winds yesterday. We were without power for 7hrs.

Not around the house but tonight when we were back in fishing trout we took a break and went for a little ride in the Rhino and found a cherry that use to be hung up the wind took down (GIBIR WOOD) still have the high ground to check which usually gets hit the worst.


This is the worst I've seen the skeeters since we moved here (eight years) cutting wood is going to be bad.

Skeeters are not bad around the house but when you get back by the brook they have a good meal, deet or just served up plain.
