Black Flies

Do you check the weather every day?  Does the forecast help you with your decision on what to wear?  In Pincher Creek, we always checked the wind speed.  A windbreaker was always close to the door.  I didn’t realize until recently that you can actually check the bug forecast.

I think the forecast was wrong because it said that black flies were low.  If this is low, yikes!!  

We had gone for a walk earlier and I’m not a runner but I ran.  The grass needed to be cut and so we dressed for the forecast!


We decided that the best way to beat them is to go faster than them.  


Denise told me that this was the black fly capital.  Thankfully the season is short but if the forecast is ever high for the nasty bugs, I’ll be locked inside.
