The Old Folks Home

Morning Old Folks.
Still dry here. Cheese cake in the oven new york style.
Had to google it, 2 trains of thought both early on.
Suppose to make it creamier with the sour cream.

Dry as ashes here too. The rain that was guess at is a 100 miles north of us. One of these days in the famous voice of Jackie Gleason.

We finally got rain. Our power got knocked out and I know the youngest that have never been in a storm of any kind are scared but I can't fix that until tomorrow. I will close the coops once the rain is over.

Coops are closed for the night and I've planted myself in my chair until I take a notion to wander off to my roost.

Chiggers/Red Bugs are the same critter. BEFORE going into the woods, bathe in dog flea/tick shampoo, paying attention to the directions. https://www.amazon.com/SENTRY-Oatmeal-Shampoo-Hawaiian-Ginger/dp/B001VIY6GO/ref=sr_1_8?crid=16KZ03WQYYJHR&keywords=Flea+shampoo+for+dogs&qid=1691117637&s=pet-supplies&sprefix=flea+shampoo+for+dogs,pets,104&sr=1-8&th=1 With this one, repeat every 9 - 10 days. Another older preventative is Fels Naptha/Octagon soap. Get wet, lather all over lightly, DON'T rinse. After you get back from the woods, rinse it off.

Yup. We called 'em red bugs to confuse our northern cousins who didn't know what red bugs were but sure did hate chiggers.

We do not have chiggers.

I bet we have some red bugs here as close to the FL line as we are. I have enough big oaks around me they may have some in them. They are not a home to a lot of Spanish moss like the old oak trees in deep FL. I'm not going to chance finding out. My oaks are full of mistletoe.
