or watching TV after dark

But not that :-)

We do all our porch
sitting in the afternoon when the cheapo lilies from Wally World are in
full bloom. :-))

This isn't only the bible belt, it's also the mosquito belt. :-(

We always found that the fish & dragonflies took care of any potential
mosquito problem from our pond in Ontario, and we were otherwise not near
enough water to have a problem. In Nova Scotia, the flies (more blacklfies
than mosquitoes) are awful nearby, but the onshore evening breeze seems to
keep them away from our property.
