Not too much to say
this week.
Have been busy trying
to get healthy and it is slow.
Please heed the
warning...Ticks are BAD!
Last season I had 7
tick bites a combination of Deer and Wood Ticks.
Between the 2, Rocky
Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme Disease can occur, and that is frightening
enough.
This past week I had
a Deer Tick bite me and I was not aware of it as it was on back of my knee that
recently received 3 gel injections and had been swollen and tight anyway.
The tick was
engorged and had probably been there for 48 hours.
I removed it properly
on Thursday evening medicated the spot and then by Friday was in the Emergency
Room.
It had become badly
infected, swollen and very hot with flowing infection...it was a MESS.
So now I am on
antibiotics and praying that the bulls eye dart like appearance does not make
it's showing...or else back to ER we will go.
Always something, yet
keeping a smile and enjoying each day~

Female above and male below Red-winged Blackbird~
I first spotted the Gnatcacher were busy gathering bits of and using some of the webbing to reinforce the making of their own nest.
I found them fascinating to observe~
Please make sure that you check yourself and especially children for Ticks.
Deer Ticks can fit easily on the head of a straight pin~
