The Day of the Tick

Near our home there is a great park that I do a lot of family portraits at. Recently there were hundreds of goats and sheep that spent a few weeks roaming the land and grazing on the weeds. The farmer would take them from one area, then move them to another. I thought it would be a great place to bring the kiddo's to and after speaking with the farmer who gave me permission to go inside the gate- we headed out! We had a great time- Rita was up visiting that day, so she came with us. Despite the good time, I have to admit I was a little afraid when all the goats and sheep started running toward us at one point. Many hours later I found the most disgusting thing ever----a TICK had crawled up my pant leg and was beginning to feast on my blood. My precious untainted blood... I did everything I shouldn't have- I screamed, ggrabbed it, pulled it off my leg and threw it. I know- what an idiot! Luckily it had JUST started embedding itself, so I got it all out and also lucky for me I have a husband who found it after I threw it. Three words--- YUCK YUCK YUCK! Here was the best part of the day...
