12 mile country run with Wyatt and the WaterBoy.  Beautiful fields of corn starting to grow.

 

It was very muggy for the first 1/2 of the run.  Cloud cover, but we were running in clouds too.  And the freaking yellow flies are out.  They are abundant around swamps and forests.  Which was the first 3 miles of our run.  In her best effort to help me out, Wyatt tried to save me from the flies by trying to kill them when they landed on me.  I got smacked in the back of the head and smacked on the rear.   For anyone who doesn't know yellow flies, they're horrid like horse flies, and they swarm us on the roads and bite without mercy.  We took a different route back home instead of the planned out & back.  It was a good choice.

 We had some great treasure finds.  MR found a reversible watch on the side of the road.  Can't tell for sure, but it looks like one side is star wars and the other side is Justin Bieber.  It was laying next to a box of "Summer's Eve."  Let the jokes come. 

We also found this.  A backbone, head, and one leg.  Curious & makes you wonder where the rest of it went.

 

 The run wasn't really fast, but it was nice to get out.  We had a little rain toward the end, and then the sun came out super hot just as we were ending.  Perfect timing, perfect run.

QP - nats in my part of the woods, darn bugs - sounds like a great run, one to enjoy, thanks to the Mr. for his service.

Have a nice day, with Bon Jovi,

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

I got the willies and felt flies biting me all over while I was reading that - YUCK! Glad you had a good and hopefully pain free run. I'm sure the rest of the 'creature' is on someone's tires :)

I just hope that wasn't a possum.

You have the most adventurous runs. I never see anything that interesting on my runs. Though I did see a guy running in Vibram Five Fingers today. That's not that strange. Oh, I did see what I think was a small part of a rabbit the other day. Or it might have been a bird, but I think it was part of a rabbit.

Brent- nasty gnats! We get them in our neighborhood a lot in the warmer weather. Makes me really want a beekeeper hat.

RAD- They remind me of fly city...but they all want to bite me.

BYE-WING- I'm happy to report that no opossum were harmed in today's blog. The teeth aren't right (how sad I know that)and there was some fur on the thigh that was more dog/coyote.

Carolyn- It helps make for interesting runs when you're running with the crew I've got! They usually find the good stuff :-) Rabbit is a good start!
