You are right about the insects. It seems like on pest crisis after another:aphids, japanese beetles, fleas and mosiquitos. I've made darn sure that the dogs and cat have had their flea medicine as well as heart worm prevention. Even though the cat is an indoor cat, I don't want to take any chances with her. The poor farmers around here have had a bad time of it this year. The peach crop has suffered terribly because of our late freeze. Local produce has looked crummy this year.

I know. I am getting a wee bit worried. Really feel sorry for the farmers, too. Things are not looking good for them at present. And the insects are fearsome since we had such a mild winter. Catharine
