A few weeks ago a tick attached itself to this dog's paw during a trail hike at Point Au Roche State Park. The day was fairly cool so someone might assume ticks were asleep during the colder weather. But if the temps rise above 40F and there is no snow on the ground ticks are on the move again, lying in wait for a victim. A second tick was found later on the dog, hiding under its fur, swollen from feeding. Besides Lyme disease ticks can infect humans with other bacteria, viruses or parasites. So don't stop checking during cooler weather.
Another phone call to the city building inspector.
Hitchhikers
By Luke T. Bush
Before winterkill destroyed them I brought home some snapdragon flowers. I discovered with my macro lens a few aphids came along. Interesting to observe but I had to end my photographic study because they were multiplying.
PLATTSBURGH CITY - 11/20/25 I
found another dirty diaper today hanging in a Verdantique Park tree.
Someone in the building is tossing used diapers out the window. A call
to the Building Inspector had diapers removed yesterday but the pig
behind this is too ignorant to stop. Another call to the Building
Inspector.
