This is my last post for November. I'll be back in early December, hopefully. I'm still debating on whether or not to keep blogging. I will see if "not blogging" gets me caught up with things around here.
Enjoy the outdoors.

Deer Ticks
This past week I pulled a deer tick off my dog and it only reminded me how much I wanted to do a post on Lyme disease. Having a sister with Lyme and seeing the pain and suffering she deals with daily, like numbness in the legs, fatigue, lesions on the brain and spine that cause forgetfulness and headaches, I believe it's important to check for ticks both on yourself and your animals. My sister travels several hours away from home to go to a Lyme disease specialist. Local doctors gave what she calls the "common inaccurate test" for Lyme disease and said she had MS. The symptoms for both diseases are very closely related. The Lyme doctor gave her the "accurate test" as she calls it, and it came back positive for Lyme. I don't believe in being paranoid about ticks when outside, but I do believe in being observant. Dogs can get Lyme disease too.
Repurposing Unwanted Bread
Turn stale bread into bread crumbs for use in recipes like meatballs, casseroles, puddings, etc. If you have a family like mine, the heel of the bread always seems to get left behind. Before it turns moldy in the plastic bag, let it sit out with any other unused bread/buns until it hardens. Chop in food processor. Add spices.
