We can’t believe we can enjoy the patio without getting bit by mosquitoes!  Maybe it’s because Banjo Man had so much brush cleared around the property?  That’s one theory.

Banjo Man’s Salada Caprese appetizer.

I wear mosquito-proof clothing, as I am not supposed to risk bug bites for the time being.  But there’s not a mosquito in sight.  I’m safe.

Banjo Man is almost delirious with joy over this new phenomena.  And he loves his basil plants, too.

This all looks very civilized.
