Day of Rest

I took today off and read a book and watched Brenda and Laura on Flosstube. I also watched the rain come down--we're in the area getting storms spun off by Tropical Storm Chantal, and it has been pouring most of the afternoon and evening.

However, I did want to come online to mention that the peppermint extract seemed to work. I did not have any new mosquito bites this morning.

Of course, Dearly Beloved mentioned that he thought it would be a wonderful idea if I baked the brownies with the mint icing that I used to make at Christmas when we had ravenous children in the house who would eat them. He said he had no idea why he suddenly had a hankering for them.
