I always learn something new from your posts.<br /><br />I've been thinking about the shower head. When I replaced mine, I screwed it into the original shower hose instead of the supplied one. Will your shower head fit on the original hose? That way you can use the original hook to hold it in place. Let me know if you need pictures.Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-38050403226679835732013-06-16T15:23:13.098-05:002013-06-16T15:23:13.098-05:00I've been in no internet land in the Pennsylva...I've been in no internet land in the Pennsylvania Mountains so I have some catching up to do. Might be a good thing Rachel declined your wading invitation, you might have had to rescue her if she floated off down stream. GREAT pictures of the trumpeters.

Doctor said Lyme's...and believe me this two week dose of antibotic makes for a sick stomach! I'm still on the hunt for a natural remedy to spray before going out and about. I admire your strength!

Around Thanksgiving was the worst because it would be the first good rains and that seemed to bring them out. Summer wasn't to bad because it was dry. I found the anti flea and tick stuff you put on the back of the dogs neck worked the best. It was always so hard to find them on our black dog. I think of Emma whenever I read about your daily tick removal.

Ticks can survive the washer, but not the heatI sure hope they have not gotten on Emma! You would think with the severe winters, they would not survive...<br /><br />Beautiful pictures tonight. The wildflowers are so pretty...and the reflection on the lake is quite peaceful. That is cool about the swans.<br /><br />Hugs to Emma!Joe and Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284391279532727775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-13349833293692132572013-06-15T21:06:34.170-05:002013-06-15T21:06:34.170-05:00Sorry to hear about all the ticks!

Did you see where one method was to rub the tick in circles as if you were trying to make it dizzy? Apparently, they back out quickly that way, or so someone says.
