       I’m sipping my iced tea, freshly showered + recovering from our outside work.  I think I’ve avoided accumulating ticks or mosquito bites (thanks to excessive amounts of insect repellent) but time will tell. We’ve made a unanimous decision to get mulching done BEFORE June in the future.  Other projects can wait, but by now it’s a struggle to get around and behind our plants, especially the hydrangeas.   For now I will happily join Slacker Saturday, already in progress.  😉

       @Sharonbw Tuck your socks in. Insect repellent doesn't work on me for ticks. I'm such a tick-magnet I have to tuck my socks in to go through the garden center.

       @Rasta        I always tuck in my socks.  Now you’ve made me paranoid about garden centers.  Is there no place safe?!

       @Sharonbw My country acre has never had a tick. Also, we never had deer, until they started swimming across the harbour and entering the yard. Last week I had my first tick on my property in 40 years. Off my property, I get them often in public parks with gravel pathways. You don't need to be in grass. 5/8 ticks came from gravel or hard surface, including my friend's deck!
