Chiggerama

View from the forest behind our property

Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I did a longish trek into the forest above our property this morning.  Weather was good, views were outstanding, Heelers were well behaved.

After the outing Dr. K and I did yardwork on the part of our property nearest the cabin.  Sometime during the previous two events--despite having insect repellent on--I was bitten by chiggers on my ankles and calves.  Trousers will be donned for tomorrow's yardwork.
