Yesterday afternoon a truck stopped at the house, a guy rang the door bell and gave Monte a flyer for lawn maintenance services. The guy then got back into his truck and drove off… and did not stop at any other house on the street. So, you can understand that I was especially happy that my weed eater parts came in the mail a few days early so that I could get busy on the edging and border weed whacking last night. I couldn’t wait til work was over today to get out and mow the lawn, front and back. THAT’S how tired I was of looking at our messy yard.
Ok. So, I’m mowing in the back yard… turning a tight circle around a shepherd’s hook that’s holding some planters and a hummingbird feeder, and all of a sudden I noticed a couple bees flying around my arms. Whoa! Where did they come from?! Oh, I guess they’re with the rest of the hoard swarming the tip of the hummingbird feeder a foot from my head!!!!
That was a close call! I don’t know if I’m allergic to bees, because it’s been probably 30+ years since I’ve been stung. But, I’m REALLY glad I didn’t have to find out this evening.
You’d think I was happy to have gotten away unscathed the first time. But, I couldn’t resist the urge to get a picture. So, I dashed into the house, got my camera and went back in close for this shot. 🙂
