It's been so hot all day but we still wanted to get a short walk in before the day was over and since the sun has gone down a bit we decided to leash up the girls and walk around the neighborhood a bit. Down in the power line right of way there was this Yucca in bloom. I think these are stunning but would never plant one in my city yard as they spread and spread....

Bernadette and Amelia thoroughly enjoyed the walk but were both ready for a good drink by the time we got back to the house.
Welcome to Summer..
ReplyDeleteThe Chigger bites look painful?
Hope the girls don't get any more fleas.
It was 90 today and we've had two severe thunderstorms go through area already..no damage though..
~~PEACE~~
Is there no cream or spray which you can use to deter them as with mosquitoes?

I'm going to look around the house and see if we have any insect repellent; we are basically broke until I get paid next week.
ReplyDeleteI was a feast for sand fleas (similar) when I went to Sanibel. My son counted my bites and gave up at 200 (both boys were bitten up, too, but DH was not.) I had used bug spray repeatedly and it didn't work at all, and just about nothing stopped the itching. I hope you have better luck repelling the chiggers. Ouch!
ReplyDeleteYikes, those chigger bites look awful! My first thought was apple cider vinegar. Hope you get some relief soon, and don't get any more bites.

Wow! I'd never heard of chiggers before I read your post Becky. I'm wondering whether they are related to 'midges' which are some 'biteys' we have here in Australia. We also have sand flies especially near beaches. Those chiggers look to be vicious little nasties!
