Flo and Friends by Jenny Campbell for July 03, 2021

But the hydrangeas are amazing this year!

Well, being surrounded by woods, gotta check the extremities every day, you never know when they’ll attach. Found one when eatingat a local restaurant on an arm. Man, that thing was the worst tick bite I ever had. Wish there was flea and tick med like my pets have!

Is Treeg as ticked as she seems?

Hate to break it to you, but most of the world isn’t out of the pandemic yet.

Reminds me of the German clockmaker who was a former Nazi agent. Guy brings in a clock that only goes tick-tick-tick. Clockmaker picks up the clock and says “ve haf vays to make you tock”.

If you see your local Opossum, thank him/her for all the Ticks they have eaten in it’s life.

Opossums love Ticks.

All my tics are nervous.

And let me check you for ticks…

My lifetime tick total (on me) before 2021 was two (or three.) I have found twice that on me alone just within the last two (maybe two and a half) months. I am dreading what the final tally for this year will be.

I haven’t seen the resident opossum who used to help keep them in check in my yard and the side and back fields. Sure do miss him!

It’s enough to tick you off.

Quick get yourself a support opossum, they eat ticks.
