.... for ticks. Yes, those pesky critters are out in full force. I have had 2 on me yesterday - and it was only May! Found one on my leg and easily removed it. While driving the car, I felt an itch and movement on the back of my scalp. When I reached back I felt a mass and pulled it out. There it was - another tick. Out the window it went. How did I get one on my scalp? Did it jump off my boys? I had been in the woods once and in the garden. It must have fallen on me from a tree or bush I guess. So much for long sleeve shirts and pants!
The gardens are doing well. A lot of rain and the magic begins with beautiful flowers.
Soon to bloom - my favorite mountain laurels.
We had a bit of a quiet indoor day. Took advantage of the cool rainy weather to get a few chores done inside the house. Things are finally back in place after the renovations to the atrium and roof, and no one could be happier than me - except of course Gunnarr who had the hardest time with a change in his routine. For a relatively small project, it was incredibly disruptive. See Shorty's blog (mydogShorty.blogspot,com or go to blogspot.com and search on Is that your dog or my dog Shorty for more details and pictures).
Guess who is getting a haircut next week? Yes, Gunnarr and Fionnegan have a spa date!
Gunnarr with that adorable head tilt. He hangs on my every word. But that doesn't mean he always listens!
Shorty and I will have a "Momma and me" day while Fionn and Gunnarr are at the groomers. Am hoping for good weather so I can take him on a nice walk. He'll enjoy that. And he still always wags his tail. He is definitely a senior dog but still enjoys walks and treats!
Hope you all are well and enjoying the end of Spring. Any plans for the summer? We will be home tending our gardens and going on some nice walks, I hope.
Until next time - stay well.
