I have never had a run-in with a chigger and hope to never have one, now that I know what one is. Yuck! Loved the poem, though -- and Lariat Laureates?

I think I can safely say now that I have avoided chiggers, although I've assumed that I had 'em. People used to talk about them all the time down in Richmond, VA, and I think I thought they burrowed in under your skin.<br /><br />This reminds me also of what I heard on "Fresh Air" yesterday in honor of Woody Guthrie's 100th--his talking blues numbers.<br /><br />By the way, can you send me the new PF schedule code?

Usually I don't get bitten, but my husband was plagued by chiggers when we traveled back. Hopefully we can keep the granddaughters away. They are terrible. The poem says it all, doesn't it? Love those 'chigger blues'.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-4450384567963743392012-07-13T08:56:31.486-04:002012-07-13T08:56:31.486-04:00Yes, the silver lining is definitely getting ONE. ...Yes, the silver lining is definitely getting ONE.
