Rainy Days on Wednesdays always lift me up :)

First, you are never too old to jump in puddles, although you do need the right gear to do it.

I guess the correct term is Pluviophile, but I truly love the rain, and feel the best when it is raining and storming outside.  I feel so at ease with the rain.  Love it!

And tea (coffee) time.

It is the little things in life that make it beautiful... that and nice teacups. They are pretty!

Orford, NH: Pestilence...

...or just stuff I never wanted to see inside a place I am living....

There are a ton of mosquitos, spiders, moths, horseflies, and other things.... We are constantly being bit, and there is no escape.  The moths don't bite, but they tend to dive bomb you and just bug, and the mice and chipmunks just get into your stuff.  My first day here, I got bit by a wood tick and ransacked by a chipmunk... in all fairness though, that chipmunk was pretty cute.

Here are some pics I have collected so far:

One huge spider... found one similar in my luggage...  I thought it was rolled up black yarn, but nope.

One of the girl's in the cabin woke up with this little guy crawling on her face, and then into her bed.  

I've never had so many bug bits in my life... Literally 10-20 at a time, at the least, no exaggeration, no lie.  Got them everywhere, even through my clothes.  And it wasn't just mosquitoes, but the little gnats bit, the random spiders, ticks, and those damn horse flies actually made you bleed. We were being eaten alive!

And these bugs came near the end of the camp, and drove me absolutely crazy.  Imagine having 8-10 of them, around you, when you are trying to sleep.... Almost learned to climb walls trying to kill them.
