Maybe I can consider going back to visit our friends in TN again now. HA! The tick bite I got from our last visit STILL itches like a son of a gun. Their woods are gorgeous, too, and they have a little pond and creek on their property, too. I've always enjoyed walking in the woods, but they have soooooo many ticks and chiggers, I haven't walked there in some time. (I got that last tick bite in the HOUSE, though. One of their pets must have brought it it.)Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-47136898794410641632017-09-15T12:29:50.144-05:002017-09-15T12:29:50.144-05:00If not, there should be.
