A lot of ankle scratching, lol

I picked up some seed ticks on Saturday when doing chores at one of the bee hives... I know the rest of you Missouri folks like those bugs , but I’m not a fan.

We have some evening primrose blooming

And our peach trees are ‘plum’ full... last year we got quite a few... this year we’ll see what the squirrels and bugs leave us

Seed ticks
Be glad if they stopped at your ankles and didn't travel farther up.

My DH has been getting a lot of seed ticks in spite of spraying up w repellent before venturing out of the yard....
I like also using peppermint soap after being out in tick/chigger country. I think it really helps...bugs don't like peppermint.

Thanks! I might have to try that ... I try not to spray with much of anything when working the bees... the natural stuff is so flowery smelling it can get them too interested in me... and the other stuff is just generally bad for the bees... but peppermint might just work.

My grandad used to rub kerosene on his pant legs to keep the ticks off... and he smoked, lol

Sorry about the blurry photo but it's hard to stand on a bucket, hold a flashlight and take a photo of the utes. There is at least one for sure.

It just started here....

Is it a bad sign when you look at the radar map and see a giant fish?

I'm jealous of all your peaches!! My 3 trees have 0 peaches on them.
But, I'm not jealous of your seed ticks!!

Mine too! Well actually the entire fish doesn't even reach where I live.
But my surprise lilies are leaning like yours are.
