I gave five ticks a burial at sea today. Every time we go out, I find a tick either on me or in Danny’s fur. This morning, I felt something on my face like a strand of hair out of place. I brushed it back and found a tick crawling near my eye. Totally gross. This afternoon, I took off my sneakers and there was a tick on my sock that was inside my shoe. I looked them up on the internet and they appear to be dog ticks. When I went to make the bed, there was one on Danny’s pillow. I try to stay in the short grass. I don’t know how we are so lucky to get all these ticks. I had leopard shin sheets on the bed. I took them off and put white sheets. I want to be able to see these things.
I fixed the door that the movers damaged. I get a recording every time I call the owner and he doesn’t call me back. I got tired of the frame flapping around and was afraid it would get damaged further.
I thought I was spraying the weeds with weed killer and when I got done, I found I was spraying with bug spray. I hope it kills the ticks but I’ll have to spray the weeds again. I weeded the little circle garden where the red maple is and I planted some flowers that I had brought from home. I got a geranium for Easter and two small impatiens from the Red Hat group.
This afternoon, I went to the Home Depot. I needed a couple cabinet screws. They had every size except what I needed. I bought a towel rack with pot holder hooks to put under the island cabinet near the sink.
I stopped at the Redmond’s Super Market on the way home. It is an employee owned store. The prices seemed reasonable and they had 10 for 10 items. It was a full service market.
Poor Danny, someone set off fireworks last night. He didn’t know where to hide. He went into a closet at the back of the mobile home. He came out after a while and crawled onto my pillow. I had to move to the other side of the bed.
On my way to and from the store, I saw these big tents and thought they were farmer markets. They were selling fire works and they were packed. Danny will be terrified tonight. The girl next door said her dog is terrified, too. I guess it’s legal to set them off down here below the Mason – Dixon.
I spent a lot of time on my computer this morning. I installed the camera software and it downloaded some programs. I also had to download some Microsoft software. It seemed to take forever. I’ll post the Friday Flower Blog if I can find where the photo is located. I don’t remember where I saved it too.
I got some more paint swatches at Home Depot. I didn’t really like what I had. I got 3 on each card so I had a lot to choose from. I’ve narrowed it down to a couple. I’ll see how they look in the morning sunlight.
