Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Where did it come from?

I still have over 4 feet of snow...

Once the temperature reaches 32F they appear spring and autumn. They are not active in the warmer months. Then it's only the dog tick that eats me.

WATCH that spot for a red circle. Lymes disease is a very real thing. If you catch it early it's very treatable, once it's set in a while, you are in for a long ordeal.

Been there, done that. Doxycycline is my friend. Took part in a vaccine development study (as bad as having the disease) so should be immune. I will keep on top of it just in case.

Sunny day here still dry seems odd most often lots of rain here for the month

I’ve gotten big ticks off my dog and cat already this year, one each. At least I think they are better than the super tiny micro ticks we had last year. Damn near impossible to even see.

We do not see as many here thankfully .. Go up in the timber you will see them

Good morning!
Oldest son (by a minute!) and I started a project last night. We are sorting and then making completed sets of the Leggos and Bionicles they accumulated over the years. It's much like starting a 50,000 piece puzzle!
