Black Fly Season

I had NO idea...about black flies...just took a walk, the usual loop, and found about one thousand black flies attached to my once-clean white turtleneck. This is my first season with black flies. Before we bought this house, I was working, so could never be here in May...well, now I'm here...and although I was too chicken to be here in the snow season, don't know if I'm too chicken to be here in FLY season.

Nope, not too chicken. I love this place.
