Time to break out the insect repellent

The flowers have all fallen off the Bradford Pear tree (the toddler was very upset when she realized this. "Oh, nooo," she told me, shaking her head sadly) and it has fully leafed out. I came in scratching my arms and legs after playing with the girls on the lawn this afternoon, which means the insects in the grass have woken up. The air conditioner has been running for the last two days, though more to counteract the mugginess than the heat.

Everywhere else it's springtime, but here summer is gearing up.
