Peepers, mosquitoes are out, and people were skiing in bikinis today.

[Maine-ah]

It was 80 degrees today in Midcoast Maine.



There were people skiing in bikinis.

1. It's going to be a baaaad year for mosquitoes and other nasty bugs.

6. That's why I'm hoping

my bats come back before the mosquitoes come out.

Used to be so bad here we couldn't step foot outside without being attacked. I spent a few summers literally covered in calamine lotion before we put up the bat houses.

Oh...and the wasps are lurking about looking for places to build their nests. Mr Pipi has had to spray the surveillance cameras outside a few times because the wasps are buzzing around near them looking for openings.

2. One of my roommates in Germany was on the International Ski Patrol...

.
.
.
... and he had pictures of people in the Austrian Alps skiing in nothing but cutoffs and/or bikinis.
.
.
.
He LOVED his job.
.
.
.
I used to be a lifeguard. I understood completely.
.
.
.
My manager once told me that my Speedo was causing one of the "ladies" concerns (I was a teenager
in awesome shape, so not for the understandable "male midlife crisis reason&quot .
.
.
.
He asked me to wear cutoffs over them (it was 1971 and "cut-offs" meant Daisy Dukes, male or female),
but then I could take off the cutoffs when my shift was over.
.
.
.
"And do me a favor when you're off-duty," he said with a grin... "sit near her."

7. Peepers!

I love hearing them in the spring. Haven't heard from them yet. Anxiously awaiting their arrival.

8. And in the other Portland

We've had more snow this spring than we had all winter. And yes, I know spring is only two days old. Believe it, hot rod.

9. It's gonna be a long hot summer.
