Be real careful out there ladies. We're all enjoying our gardens this year - they are so beautiful!

I see, at least in our area, that ticks are heavy this year. I check myself like crazy after coming in from the yard.

But, unfortunately, I was bitten. We got the tick quickly - it had just attached. Almost two weeks later - the rash arrived. I have Lyme Disease! All these years of working in the garden, hiking in the woods, we've always had dogs..... I've been attacked :cry:

Please be careful, check behind you knees, around your hairline and waistline. If you find a tick and remove it, keep watching! It took almost two weeks for the rash to come. I thought it was a dog tick, it was large not itty bitty.
