Moving the Blog

This past Saturday, Chris and I took a day trip down to Nashua, New Hampshire for a local comic book convention. It was smaller than I was used to and not nearly as crowded, but I enjoyed it - probably because it was less crowded. I do hope that it continues to grow, however, so that they can continue to hold it on an annual basis. The people who organized and ran it seemed very professional, helpful and it really seemed like they were having a good time.
I'm feeling very sad, hurt, frustrated and angry. I haven't felt this bad since September of 2001.
Earlier this year, at the end of May, I planted some gladiolus flowers in memory of my grandmother who had just passed away. My dad told me that they were one of her favorite flowers. They've been growing pretty fast, and this past week, they finally started to bud.
This past Saturday we took a day trip up to Greenville, a popular spot for vacationers and tourists. It's easy to see why.
A couple of weekends ago we went down to Reid State Park. We've been to this park before, on our honeymoon, and not much has changed. It's still very pretty, despite the fact that we got there at low tide.
We don't have A/C up here in Maine. It's really hot right now (about 90) but by Tuesday, it's supposed to be back down in the 60's and low 70's again. Which is nice, and because of that, I don't really think we need heavy duty air conditioning. Maybe a small one for the bedroom, but not much else.
But, why do you ask, is the Dragonfly my new hero?
Easy. We've had a very wet Spring. Since the warm/hot weather hit, the mosquitos came out in droves and have made being outside completely miserable.
Today, when I took China in the back yard to brush out her loose hair, I realized that I wasn't being bitten by the pests despite the fact that I had forgotten to spray myself down with Off.
That's when I looked around and saw that our yard is now full of dragonflies. Anyone who is afraid of Dragonflies would call it a swarm, but fortunately, I've never been afraid of Dragonflies. I've always found them quite pretty.
Dragonflies eat mosquitos and the 'swarm' now inhabiting our yard is doing it's job quite nicely. It's such a nice change from the past few days.
So, you keep on buzzin', you Dragonflies. I swear I'll never squash a one of you.
