Walmart was sold out of the mosquito head netting, so I'm obviously not the only 'local' with a problem this season.

Found this on Amaz0n, will have it in a few days. So cute! Now the mosquitoes and all the other bugs will be flocking around me because I'm so stinkin' adorable, LOL!

Those gnat hats, as we call them, are the ONLY way to survive summers in the SE TX swamp!

We have several in all colors. They work GREAT :D

That IS cute! Almost looks like something out of an old movie .... the ‘mysterious veiled lady”.

My bug net is an old cheapie with some camo so probably came from dad’s hunting stash. I wear it over a ball cap so the brim keeps it off my face. Looks terrible, almost embarrassing to wear it when I’m trimming next to the road & in public view .... but it WORKS & keeps the biting gnats off my face, out of my eyes, etc.

Asphalt is happening! Three big dump trucks in the driveway, machinery & lots of men working. Trucks lined up on the grass at the base of the bank - glad I mowed & trimmed all that Saturday! I can’t watch, didn’t sleep well last night. I’m trusting the contractor to not mess up too much & do it right. I noticed one of my pavers at the end of the sidewalk needs to be reset - must have gotten ‘tapped’ when they were spreading & rolling gravel. I hope it all can get done today & doesn’t run over into tomorrow.

I wondered about the pink gardening hat attracting insects. Not so much,But the yellow strap might!

What applies to campers works for gardeners too! (I usually use blue jeans and things like olive drab or light blue tee shirts and a boonie hat when I do yard work. )
