The  trick with chiggers--"Don't sit down!!!!"-- My blueberry bushes are 12 
feet outside my kitchen door, I tired picking them in my PJ yesterday, 
8,8!!! mystquitos bites at 9:00 am--Tiger mysquitos, they bite in the day 
time and I kept watching for them and smashed 4 on me.  I went down in my 
shorts to check the round bale while feeding the horses (7 MORE straight 
days of rain (up to 40-2-3 dry ones)-and got 4 mysquito bites. I forgot , 
must wear jeans outside to do any work or OFF. Just have to decide whether 
to die from Heat prostration or chemical absorbsion. Who wants to spray Off 
for a 15 minute feeding?
 Everything is a puddle, the worms are drowning..... I just want to ride!!! 
My riding ring is mush and growing water lillies.....
  I bought fertilizer yesterday, with this much rain ,I may as well . And 
it might make the rain stop, usually if I buy grass seed or fertilizer it 
stops raining......
