ANN BAILEY: God bless the skeeter-eaters

I’m glad for the great number of toads because they are mosquito eaters and anything that helps reduce the mosquito population is my friend. The latest batch of mosquitoes at our farmstead seems particularly hungry and they are vicious biters. It’s bad enough to have the mosquitoes swarming around my head and biting my arms when I’m picking vegetables in the garden, but it’s even worse to have them sneak in the car and stay just out of an arm’s length away so I can’t slap them.
