They are also called chiggers and are a type of mite that love to jump onto humans and burrow into our flesh, especially the flesh under the elastic of underwear and socks and bras. The way they burrow is to actually dissolve small bits of our flesh and eat it. They cause terrible itching welts that can last for a long damn time. You can read this to see what happens if a chigger bites your penis: https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/prevent-treat-chigger-bitesMs. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-26009695137567794742023-03-28T17:21:49.570-04:002023-03-28T17:21:49.570-04:00I really used to feel the need to preach about rel...I really used to feel the need to preach about religion, didn't I?

Focus on the wild azalea, "zoom in" and take the picture. No ticks and redbugs need to get involved. I love the red clover, it's so pretty. My tomatoes seem to never come up until I've forgotten about them and then a whole clump arrives overnight only to be eaten the next night by whatever bug is out there. Last year I got one tomato about the size of a marble from a plant that grew under another of a different species.

Business as usual. The church sign is a worthy laugh. You are right, that is alot to cram into one church meeting.
