The mosquitos are hatching. Ugh, I hate to admit one creature I am not fond of is mosquitos. Although I admire their daring nature and determination- I cannot find them tolerable. My body is less than accustomed to bites and I have no will power when it comes to not scratching an itch. So, inevitably, my entire body swells up from their blood thirsty nips. I've tried every home remedy. Hot spoons, baking soda, toothpaste, aloe- nothing cures the bumps. It's one of my least-favorite parts of summer. And unfortunately, in Alaska, it's one of the most constant and ever-bugging aspects that come along with 24 hours of sun.
