Hot with a high of 90 degrees, yuck!
I got up early to get all my watering done before it got hot, then I had to go to work for the day :-(
Since my workroom has no windows, I can't really say what went on in my yard today, but . . .
What I can say is, I could hardly see out of my left eye all day because of the swelling. Yesterday while we were planting trees, I got stung in the morning above my left eye by a bee, and later in the afternoon around 4:ish when the blackflies came out, two got me on the inside corner of the same eye. I knew when I went to bed my eye was swelling, but didn't really think too much more about it . . .
Until morning when I woke and my vision was blurry and my eye felt tight. When I looked in the mirror I saw the swelling was even worse at the inside corner of my eye. Oh well, I wouldn't be the first New Englander with a swollen face after gardening. From Mother's Day to Father's Day, blackflies come with the territory.
About Me
- Silks&Magnums
- I grew up in the mid-west, but by now have lived in nearly every region of the country. When it came time to "settle-down", I chose New Hampshire because of it's beauty, and close proximity to Boston, the ocean, and the Mountains. I never tire of the wildlife that visits my yard; including Black Bears, Fishers, Bobcats, Fox, Turkeys, Muskrats, White-tailed Deer, Porcupines, Red, Grey and Flying Squirrels, Chipmunks, Rabbits, and an incredible amount of birds . . . to name a few. I always wanted to live in a cabin in the mountains nestled in the sweetest green valley, and this is it, with a few more amenities. This is my little slice of heaven!
