A few weeks ago I heard that there are no bugs in Colorado. For several days I asked whomever I was talking to – polling them really – to be sure before I “whooped” in excitement.
It’s been my favorite topic of conversation lately.
It’s true.
You can leave the doors open with no screens.
You don’t have to spray down your children with insect repellent when they go outside.
No flies. No mosquitoes. Yellow jackets can be a bother, but they are managed nicely by those yellow jacket traps.
I’ve been watching and have yet to see any.
Last night we were sitting outside way past dusk. The kids ran and played. No bugs. I flipped on the outside light. No bugs.
I’ll tell you – I should start working for Colorado’s public relations department. I love this state.
No flies or mosquitoes?????amazing…..Mom
I should really be able to simply smack someone for that. I mean really, no bugs?! NOT FAIR, cries my sweet sweet husband and his two boys who, promptly at dusk become full meals for mosquitoes. Not to mention the HUGE GINORMOUS WELTS (we are talking 2″ diameter) they all 3 suffer through for 1 little mosquito bite. NOT FAIR, cries my darling daughter who gets eaten alive, just for walking in the grass. Maybe we should look at Colorado for jobs and housing. hhmm.
Enjoy it my friend… your spring and summer and fall of no bites and no flies. and those cute little girlys with unbitten ankles!
Man, I miss you guys.
