Remove any imbedded ticks as soon as possible. Use tweezers to grab the tick close to the skin and gently pull on the tick with steady pressure. Do not jerk or twist the tick. Wash your hands and the bite site with soap and water after the tick is removed. Apply an antiseptic to the bite site. Do not use alcohol, matches, liquid soap or petroleum jelly to remove a tick. Dispose of a tick by submersing it in alcohol, placing it in a sealed bag/container, wrapping it tightly in tape, or flushing it down the toilet. Never crush a tick with your fingers. - Kentucky Department of Public Health Comments | Permalink

Wildfowers of KY: Formal wild Honeysuckle in bubble light mode

Don't know if proper attention has ever been paid to honeysuckle in its early stage of blooming, but it does make an interesting art pattern, one some may find the most delightful phase of all. I think I like it best. It fits with my Mother's theory that none of Life's Transitions are necessarily better than another. There are always trade-offs. Always Losses and Gains. Usually equal. But it's still OK to like one better than another. For me, I'll look for this again each year. - EW Comments | Permalink
