Well, ya know, even *Hillary* actually made it into
the Adirondacks though she very vocally stated her
unmitigated hate of the imfamous Black Flies and that
she'd never visit because of them. ;o)
I have to be completely truthful, though, and proclaim
my complete distaste (literally, as they seem to love
to congregate in my oft-times open mouth, ick!)for the
creature, as well.
That aside--I would love to see more boxes planted
there and if I can get motivated I just might get to
work on a few.
AD-
who is sure her mother is reading right now and
rolling her eyes at her peculiar daughter! lol
