Merlin loves to give little kitty kisses!
Today while on one of my walks, I found a tick crawling around on my white sneaker after I got back home! Ticks are particularly bad around here. Deer ticks carry lyme disease and boy have we got a lot of deer in our area. I found these natural essential oils which ticks do not like and can be used as tick repellents for humans:
- Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
- Cedarwood (Cedrus Atlantica)
- Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens)
- Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus)
Also this weekend the Annual WWII Weekend event is being held right down the road from my house. If you remember in one of my previous posts, I showed you a pic of where it is being held ...
The Mid-Atlantic Air Museum located near The Reading Regional Airport.
The roads will be pretty busy so I definitely will not be taking any walks along my country roads for the next two days.
Have a glorious weekend everyone!
Oh, little Merlin is so sweet. I could just hug and kiss him. Thank goodness you found him. Ticks. I always think I am safe here in the city, but I do go to the park often and it is loaded with wildlife. Must be careful. Thanks for the remedy. I have all those oils so will be putting them to use.
ReplyDeleteMerlin is adorable...such a precious baby.
ReplyDeleteBe careful with those ticks Kim! Good to know about the essential oils. I always use lavender...my favorite :)
Have a great evening!
Hugs ❤🐱❤
That's wonderful that Merlin got a clean bill of health. You have a good week-end, too.
ReplyDeleteAwww, sweet little kitty. Glad he got a clean bill of health, I make a spray with those essential oils 1/2 water and 1/2 (witch hazel or cheap vodka or isopropyl alcohol) Spray skin and clothes before going outside. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteadorable! glad he's healthy:)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a tick here.. it's probably too hot?
I hope you had a great weekend Kim!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy about Merlin! He is so cute!
