Open Doors

We have had very limited internet access the last couple of weeks, but I prepared blogs!   So you will be getting several close together here the next few days.  Enjoy!

Bruneau Dunes State Park, ID

That blob is a gnat on the lens!

Gnats!  In my nose!  In my ears!  Trying to get into my mouth and eyes.  Swarms of them!  I have only ever experienced something like this once before—mosquitoes in north Wisconsin.  Thank God these were not biting humans!  But the poor horses ears!

Dave did not seemed to be as bothered by them, so he took care of the horses and I went into the motor home…only to be greeted by

hordes of flies!  How did they get in so fast??

I started swatting and soon the floor, counter, table and chairs were spattered with dots.  I was starting to feel victorious when I stepped to the back of the coach and found the ceilings in the bathroom and bedroom, speckled with the dreadful creatures!  I didn’t want their dead bodies all over the bed, so I tried shooshing them out to the kitchen/living room area…with some success.  I closed the doors to the back and started swatting again.  I ended up sweeping the floor three times and vacuuming twice before the pesky population was reduced enough to even think about cooking.

Just a few minutes of an open door and, wow, what an influx of trouble!  The whole experience did get me reflecting though.  There are many doors that we have in our lives.  Did I have any open doors in my life, letting in trouble?

Do you?
