Vern is originally from New York but has lived in Tennessee for sixteen of her twenty years. Tonight I was talking with her on the phone and I realized how thankful I am that girl left the north. The south is making its mark on Vern. I think it's safe to say that sweet southern water is seeping into her roots. As I was talking to her tonight she told me that she was transporting a load of guinea hens in the back seat of her Ford Taurus. Vern works for a vet and she has seen several dogs come into the veternarian, their ears filled with a thick layer of those crusty blood sucking creatures.Vern informed me that Tennessee was to see the most tick infested summer it had seen in decades. Vern is not going to take a chance with those pests and she has got the best natural protection possible for her property, God's creatures.
I love country people and I love Vern.
