Not the bee


So summer in the Ozarks means ticks, snakes and wasps. And the waspers like to move into any overhang and vehicle around. They love old  tractors, coops and truck door hinges. I put these stickers up on every thing I have to drive on the farm. This means stay away another wasp calls it home. It works I just need a bigger one for my roof.

This time of the year means birds attacking mirrors. I have 7 cats and not one wants to bother getting one of these birds pooping all over my truck mirrors. It is too hot outside this year and it is not even August yet. Going to be an interesting summer here. Haying has started and the baby deer are in the meadows. Have not seen baby bunnies but deer and ticks are everywhere. We have gotten ticks off both of us. My husbands tick bite got infected and had to see a Dr. That took 3 days to get an appointment! So I just gave him my old antibiotics and that got him healing. If you have Alpha Gal and are on steroids you can get very sick with tick bites and are more venerable. Finally saw a dr and she gave him the same antibiotics I had on hand. 

I am looking forward to planting pumpkins soon and waiting for fall. Summers are great for swimming and lightning bugs and that is about it.
