  3. Ticks...how scary.  I've seen the devastation lyme disease causes...very very scary.  Keep those precious babies safe.  (Not that I'm implying you don't already!)

    Also, hurry and fix that camera!  :)

    oh I know, ticks are so yucky! Thankfully the local vet said that it is VERY rare the ticks around here carry anything scary. And oddly enough, they don't seem to bite very easily. We usually find them on us but not yet bitten.

    uggg, the camera, not sure it's worth repairing. boo-hoo! trying to figure it out. {grin}

  5. I love this post!

    I agree with Holly-ticks-yuck!

    What "program" do you use for school. Sorry for my lack of a better word. My brain is on freeze mode at the moment.  

    Hope you have a great weekend!

  10. I don't mean to scare you but ticks carry nasty diseases everywhere! I know you do your home work, and this is definitely something you should look into. If you regularity see/get bit by ticks you should be familiar with tick born disease symptoms and tick removal. I live in a area where "there are no ticks". Yeah right say that to my friends lyme and barrtonella contracted from a tick bite! Its not as rare as we all think. Sorry ticks just FREAK me out!

    On a lighter note I just love your blog! :)
