In January of 2006, we purchased our 40 acre farm in the Ozark Hills of Missouri. The following July we realized our dream and made the jump from life in the city to country living. This blog is about my homesteading adventures since then.

Flies in the middle of winter?!?!?!?!

Yep. We have been inundated with swarms of the nasty little creatures every day the sun shines!

After much head scratching, the fly swatter coming out, hundreds of fly carcases being vacuumed up, a box and fly strips, and a little research; we finally decided that they were laying eggs on the windows. When the sun was shining, it was warming the glass up enough for them to hatch out.

This weekend I cleaned all of the windows. We will see if that solves the problem. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I thought you might enjoy a visual - my 9 year old nephew said that they were "actually kind of decorative".

Peace
