PrettyTiny Film Company Pic-A-Week 2023! (#52 Dec. 22)

Thank you both 

When you say you "shot two and ran," are you referring to pictures... or mosquitoes? How big are the  mosquitoes?

Haaa haaa.  Now I have a photo idea but don't know if I can do it.
They're a variety of sizes from quite small, like maybe 4mm, to big honkin' 1cm -ish ones, (not that I've measured accurately) and they are all ravenous. 

Stupid mosquitoes! They're terrible here, too.

Really?  Bummer.  You must've had a lot of rain too.  There were shockingly few bugs -- I worked outside in shorts & a t-shirt a couple of times -- until the June wet weather.  Now it's the worst mosquito season ever, at least at my house.  If I want even a few leaves of chard from the garden, I have to change into long pants, long sleeves, bug shirt, hat... just to run out & get them.  I thought I could make it to the compost bin & back without all that the other night... it was 42 seconds and I got a bite 


We had an unex!pected arrival this week, right on Gina's heels.  This wee one was not as definite about her name, so I've been days trying to think of something.  Finally, I can introduce Sidika.  It's Turkish for honesty/sincerity/truth/etc. and since she came from goche moche who's Turkish, I have settled on that for her name.


Welcome party.  New girl meets next newest girl.
