WEDNESDAY Things are going well here, Except for flying bugs.

 Picture of the day

 

This was my pet Moorhen when we lived on lake Dora. She built n the boat first, but I moved her to this little house on the pier. She finally settled here, had her puppies and raised them there.

BUT for now:

AS most folks know, we do not homestead when we move. About 4 years is our average stay at an address.  Floridia is a great state, especially weather wise, but we do have our BUG season.

The Fungus Gnat and the Aphid come in swarms and love to be close to water.  This happens to be Lake County and it is FULL of lakes. Here in the park we are about 3/4 mile from a lake.  Mark is about 100 YARDS from LAKE Eustis.

Therefore, they are worse at his house where we are working.

WE lived in Tavares right on lake Dora for a few years, there the bugs were called Non biting Mosquitos. They about drove us up the walls during bug seasons.

                        Days it was just us on the boat, me 'n my sweetie.

BUT living on Lake Dora we ate fish 2-3 times a week we caught off the pier.  WE had a pontoon boat but seldom caught fish when fishing from the boat. However, we bordered on the Dora Canal, a very picturesque canal connecting Lake Dora and Lake Eustis.  Most folks who visited us got a tour of the canal. LOL

I cannot find one picture from the Dora Canal. I hope this is not a bad bug!

WE would have kept the place there, but that was my FIRST personal contact with a (HOA) Home Owners Association. I wanted to install a boat lift. NO! The rules were: NO LIFTS. (boat can be damaged tied up at a pier in bad weather, and it was.) Also there were no pets allowed, and the property could not be rented out.  WE had no pets, but wanted to rent the house out and hit the road for a few more years, NO!

 So we sold the place. And became Gypsies again. LOL

So, we are very familiar with this area since Tavares actually lies between our RV site and Mark’s place.
