Went down to the vernal pools tonight to check on the future frogs' progress. Despite some rain today, the pools are drying up and it was hard to see anything. And, we couldn't stand around waiting to see if we could find some. It's Spring in Maine, so that means blackflies!!!! Ouch, ouch, and ouch! Man, are they bothers. In just a few seconds there were clouds of them around us. One flew into my eye, and as I said "ow" one flew into my mouth. Blech!!! I couldn't get back into the house fast enough. Now I'm itching around my ears and an eye. And people wonder why I hibernate during Spring and Summer!!!!!!!!!!
