BERRIES


Went orchid ogling Sunday, then visited our friend's niece's blueberry farm. They haven't yet opened to the public, so we were allowed to pick as many berries as we liked (we returned home with enough to fill our kitchen sink). The heavily wooded ditches were full of catfish. Very strange. By midday the heat was too much, so we all returned home and took a siesta. Insufferably Arcadian.

The deer ticks were pretty lively, though. Despite our precautions, all of us found one in us. Just waiting for symptoms now. Et in Arcadia ego, babies.

Upon possible exposure or reexposure by a tick bite, I think it's recommended by doctors who understand Lyme and its co-infections to go on a few weeks of antibiotics just in case. If not, though, at least keep an eye out for feeling bad in the next month or two. :/ Et in Arcadia prudentia est, eh?

Yeah, be careful about Lyme and co-infections! My boyfriend has both and it's awful.

Blueberries?

(I'm so jealous.)

I have memories of going boating with my grandparents and picking wild blueberries on the Apostle Islands (Lake Superior - north WI area). And visiting lighthouses.

Also: I think Joan of Arcadia got Lyme's Disease (or something like that?). Perhaps you will have hallucinations of conversations with the holy?

It's pleasant to read someone using the phrase 'et in Arcadia ego.' I never get a chance to use it. The mental hospital up here is called Acadia, and were I ever to have the misfortune to be thrown into it, I could say 'et in Acadia ego'!
