FF, I am sooooo glad you are feeling better and stronger this year. Thank God for the wonderful wisdom he gives those who develop better meds.

Hate to hear about your chiggers. We have them everywhere, too. But, I must be lucky, cause I rarely get them.

Okay,..call me dumb. What exactly is a chigger? I have heard my DH talk about them. Thats a shame, I have been raised up in the country and have no idea what a chigger is,..I'll blame it on my mother.LOL!

You're not dumb, just lucky!! Like FF says, if you haven't been bit, you probably don't have them.

Sorry about the chiggers! I'm itching along with you with a few mosquito bites I got over the weekend. I know better too. Sigh. I've got one on the top of each foot. They're driving me insane!
I'm so happy to hear that you're feeling well otherwise.

So sorry about the chiggers!! I hate them! They are so miserable, you scratch yourself awake from a dead sleep.

I have a quick story about chiggers. My best friend in TX was trailering a horse through the country and got a flat tire. She sat on her trailer's fender to wait for some help. It was a scorcher of a day. That night she noticed itching under her um, underpants and bra. When she disrobed completely she said she had so many chigger bites it looked like she was wearing red lace underpants and a red lace bra. Apparently it has been so hot and dry in TX (last month) that they seek out the most moist of spots. Here is the real kicker, she had a "lady doctor" appointment two days later when the bites were at their worst...she was so embarrased!! (She said they took forever to clear up.)

They do take a while to stop, but I know the proper weapons!

Glad I decided to slack off !

My green beans should be ready within a week. Wednesday, a bush of beans just broke off at the stalk. I picked the beans, cut them and threw them in with the zukes and onions to saute in butter. Delicious!!

Don't work too hard today.
