In the spring they weren't too bad. They should be almost over by this point but they are out in full force.<br /><br />We do have a fogger here and Kevin used it once in the summer but it isn't working right. The other day he had a look at it again and said that it is toast so that will be on the list to buy for next year.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-7285540010967879692014-09-09T10:46:20.984-04:002014-09-09T10:46:20.984-04:00Excellent idea, Kevin is upset that he didn't ...Excellent idea, Kevin is upset that he didn't think of that first himself!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-64304838558831658632014-09-09T03:28:36.011-04:002014-09-09T03:28:36.011-04:00Such great pictures!
