I killed a brown spider on the back of my neck last night, felt him going into the hairline or getting ready to have a bite.

We have a Wallapai Tiger bug here, that sends me to the doctor.

It is a cone nosed beetle, also known as the “Mexican Kissing Bug”.

For most bites, a spray of strong vinegar and water helps the sting and I like it with Peppermint Essential Oil added.

The vinegar spray is also good for prickly heat rash.

Keep lurking, we need you all.

Many hugs sent in return.

I’ve almost conquered the weeds in my garden Granny. Which is no small feat living in Iowa where we’ve gotten plenty of rain as you know. Then hopefully I can post more.

So nice to be reminded how much I hate crabgrass as I’ve weeded the same patch 3 times in the last month. However, my tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are beautiful as a result. Some organic 5-5-5 fertilizer from Renaissance and gypsum does wonders.
