I'm a bit twitchy about going outside now, even though Apma came over and sprayed the life out of those yellowjackets and buried the entrance to their nest. I hope it works. Knock on wood for me. (It really really works. Try it.)
However. I made myself go outside yesterday and got some long-awaited weeding done in my herb garden, so it was like aromatherapy at a retreat. A retreat you can bring your over-tired preschooler to so he can chase toads, grasshoppers and caterpillars, and you can say "don't do that" and "do that" until it feels like your mouth can just fall off. It was nice and relaxing like that.
Oh yeah. And the hurricane brought the cold in, so now it feels like fall. And I got to struggle with setting fire to damp wood in our (((cough!))) wood stove in the basement to take the chill out of the floors. Good times!
But I'm not totally out of cheer this week. While I didn't get pics of the paramedics, ambulance or hospital, I can share some other favorites from the last few weeks. Enjoy!

Since my Casablanca Lilies and Hibiscus didn't try to kill me this week, I don't have the hate on for them. Aren't they pretty? The picture of the lilies was taken during the eye of the hurricane.
Can I just say again how glad I am that he did NOT get stung?!
Isn't this the most adorable thing ever? See his special stirrups? He loves horseback riding!
Wow those are beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteand your son is ADORABLE!

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Just wait til I post my apple pie recipe and it will turn you into a true apple pie foodie!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your wasp bites. My husband had a similiar experience and was stung about 12 times before he outran them. Their nest was in the ground and he mowed over it. I hope you feel better today. Blessings.
Fabulous pictures, WM!
ReplyDeleteI live in fear of the almighty sting (and that someone around me might get stung and I won't be prepared to save their life and the scene ends horribly!)
Anyway, thanks for playing again (and again).
Happy Fx4,
Carrie
Love the horse pic. very cute
ReplyDeleteThe bees must be bad this year everywhere. My husband is a landscaper and has gotten stung several times this year. Thanks for visiting my blog!
