We are still dealing with very cold temperatures. The changes from night to day were quite extreme the other day. We started the day at 18 degrees and by the afternoon it was 61. Forty three degrees of change in one day is quite amazing. The Flycatcher showed up on our porch yesterday and warns us that the barn swallows won't be far behind. Lee is planning to put the screens up on the porch ASAP to prevent the nesting.
We took Scooter and Leo in for their annual heartworm checks and to our dismay Scooter was screened with Lyme disease, which they also check for. I wondered how this could be since I thought Scooter had a Lyme vaccination. Well, come to find out they had given Leo a Lymes shot and not Scooter. Scooter is taking antibiotics to get rid of the disease and we had to go get blood tests to make sure we don't have it. So heads up to hunters to check well for ticks and make sure your dogs are vaccinated for Lymes, since it is definately in our tick population. We have already pulled several off the dogs this year.
Have a great Easter Weekend. Mountain girl, Paula, logging off.
