I can see clearly now....

The forest is gone.
Sigh, the land next to us sold. At least, the bit right next to our house did.
It was all woods, with no neighbors to be had for a mile. Now, they've cleared it,
and are waiting on the piled up brush to dry before moving in their home. At
least, I think it will be a mobile home. They could build, I'm not sure. We have yet
to meet them. Sure hope and pray they are nice and quiet!

View from our front porch, where forest used to be. There goes the privacy!

In other news, I might see clearly (the lot next door), but I'm speaking with bugs in my mouth. And hair, and all over my car, porch, and everywhere else. Why? It's love bug season! I'll be glad when these jokers are gone. What a mess.

You can read about them here:

This is two of them, mating. They fly around like this, connected, and get everywhere. Go outside, and you are swiping and waving like mad to keep them off you. They don't bite, but are just aggravating. At least the love bug season is short. Yay.

Hope you're all doing well!
