2009 Woodtick Count - 35

Aside from washing and folding laundry...lots of laundry because all the sheets I used to cover the plants the other day had to be washed and folded, and finishing a baby blanket (one more to go), and marinading some chicken breasts for supper...it's just another lazy day at The Lake. Somehow it doesn't seem quite fair that I still managed to pick up two more ticks. I think it's all Gypsy's fault. Ms. Gypsy (low to the ground, woodtick magnet)has been Frontlined so all the ticks that jump onto her, jump off as soon as they find a tastier target. Unfortunately, that tasty target seems to be me.

Noteworthy Quote of the Day

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

- George Eliot (1819 - 1880)
