Sorry, I’ve been neglecting by blog. Summers are very busy for us it seems. With two yards to mow, we spend lots of time outside.
I have to share. We have ground bees from time to time. Three or four years ago my husband got stung 22 times when he mowed over a hole in the ground. He was on a hill, so it wasn’t like he could jump & run. Last week, I was out mowing our side yard. And yes, I’ll admit I saw the hole in the ground, I thought to myself, a snake hole. So I whipped right by it went to the other end of the yard and finished up. Then I headed to the last patch that is caused when your yard isn’t quite square. I admit, I mow if 4th gear. My husband cringes, but lets me because I can get it done faster than him! So in 4th gear I headed back to where I had seen the whole, and to my horror, I saw the bees, and I already knew I was going to fast to stop. Our lawnmower stops if you get off the seat, so I jumped and at a dead run headed for the house.
Yes, I got stung, one right under my eyelashes, three on my ribs and one on a leg. Five times, I had no idea if I was allergic, because I hadn’t been stung in years! As an Asthmatic I knew not to wait too long if I thought I’d need medical attention. Lucky for me, I must not be allergic, because other than extreme pain and a swollen eye/face I survived.
So I’ve not been with adventure this summer. I’ll do another post tomorrow and tell you about my nieces pig showing at the fair!
