Rainbow at Sunset

The alarm had gone off but I stayed in bed a little longer listening to the state's Public Radio weather forecast.  High in the 60's w/ a chance of frost tonight in the northern parts of the state.  Yikes!  It's still August for another week.  Picked up Friend Nancy for breakfast and we both are looking forward to putting flannel sheets back on our beds.  (It's a Northwoods thing.)   Once home I checked on Mjolnir's apartment.  Every autumn it turns into a Fly Apocalypse - last year my count reached over 3,000 flies.  However, I'm pretty sure from what I observed last year that the flies are squeezing through the front door frame.  Now that my company has left, I took blue painter's tape and taped the top and sides of the door.   I'll enter through the workshop until freezing weather arrives.   Then I placed a sticky fly strip on the front door window.   There were 4 flies buzzing around the day I applied the tape and the count was up to 7 tonight (none flying - all caught on the fly strip).  If the number starts to rise significantly I will tape the bottom of the door too.   If that doesn't work I've got more ideas.  I swear this autumn that apartment will not look like a Biblical Plague struck!
