Wood Tick Season

The Littlest Convict

 The Lineup

Before they arrived to spend the Memorial Day weekend with us, our oldest son sent this photo he'd just taken of his boys. I asked him why he insists upon making our darling, beautiful grandsons look like convicts. He said, 'No, not convicts...recruits.'  Yeah, well...  At least they're happy convicts.

I guess it has to do with wood ticks. Since the boys will be spending time with us the next few weeks (in wood tick country), he wanted to make sure we could easily check for wood ticks when they come in from playing outdoors.

But deer ticks? That's another story. They're nearly impossible to see, being about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. And they're the ones that carry Lyme disease.

Fortunately, the upside of the weather that brings out the ticks, is the fact that it also brings us asparagus, lilacs, and apple blossoms.
