Time flies like the wind, white flies seemed to have been blown away

It must have been during the battering of wind and rain during tropical storm Isaac that the whitefly population was decimated. It gives me a profound sense of peace to see this miracle. The back of the bird-of-paradise leaves that used to be covered with furry colonies are now smooth and a glossy green. Perhaps we'll get a break from these sorry inventions for a while. A cool winter would drive another nail into their coffin. No love lost here.
