Yuck. Found the first ticks of the year yesterday on Quentin. I've got bites but no hangers-on, shall we say, but I had to pull a couple of the hubby. I hate ticks. It's the one thing about country living I loathe. But when you live on a property that's been let go for twenty years, it's something you learn to live with. You do tick patrol whenever you have been outside. It also means Quentin definitely needs to get out with the weedwhacker and trim up the "lawn" this weekend, such as we have. It's tiny, and there's a lot of big rocks and things sticking up that would tear up a mower, so we have no choice but to weedwhack. Well, that or let it grow to waist high and have even more ticks to deal with, along with snakes and spiders. I'd rather avoid the snakes, because this area is rife with timber rattlers. I still remember the one the power company scared up a couple summers ago when they were brush hogging the easement. Thanks, but I'll just avoid that.
It is sure pretty though. All the green. I know, I said it yesterday, but gosh it is GREEN and gorgeous out. I hope I can get out today and do a bit before we leave for work. Sure would be nice, because nothing but work and sleep and online stuff and writing really does not do it for this homesteading lady. I like being outdoors a lot. I don't care if I'm just burning trash, I like to be outdoors, not locked up in some stuffy plant mutilating chickens, lol. Anyhow, I am off to find some food, make my lunch, and find y'all some books. Hugs all!!!
