I WAS CAUGHT....

...red handed,

literally, messing with the....

 Hub's BEEs

Saturday afternoons & evenings are fairly quiet here on the farm,

usually there is no one else working or on the yard besides family

 so I thought...

if Kerry could just borrow the skidloadeer

 and help move a few things around we could tidy up.

 He did

and it looks so much better.

 Well, he went off to do what he really thought should be done..

spraying crops and what-not!

 Ike stuck with me and we moved stuff,

 put away, stored stuff, threw away and whatever else...

but then....I move something that had

a hornets nest ??? in it! 

 Ike & I got out of there after the first one stung me.

Quick went to the house to fixed it up and out we go again....

welllllllll.....the going was good until...

I thought we would just move a couple random bee boxes

to set them in more orderly fashion,

its dusk and the bees are alllll

in bed and quiet........or so I reasoned!

 MISTAKE...

the first two bee boxes that was the case,

the last box though,

 why is it always the last thats gets you into

TROUBLE???

i pIcKeD Up that box and things changed

in a painful way,

 i have been stung b4 and multiple times,

YES...

not a great feeling but...

you get over it! 

 BUT...

this time I reached around the box and put my hand right on a

bunch of bees,

6 at least got even,

on the same hand that the hornet told me

to leave them alone !!!

So IKE & I were just gonna quietly go in the house, shower,

treat our bug bites, and go off bed....and lick our wounds.

Thats what I thought,

until intense itching set in, bottom of my feet, hands and then all over,

thinking again,

the Benadryl (overdose amt.) will kick in...

well it didn't,

now my mouth and around my ears are getting thick feeling,

CONFESSION time,

Kerry was not too pleased,

but ya can't be too angry at someone

when you are watching that someone's hand balloon up,

itching like she has the 7 year itch...

well it took a bit of convincing on his part to get me,

off to ER,

so off we go at 11:00pm,

when Kerry should have been going to bed

(his nights are short & days are long with rarely a complaint of it)

 and I felt bad about that, 

but not as bad as my body was feeling!

so this "unkept lady" arrives to ER...

swollen hand,

intense itching, head that feels huge, husky voice,

hives and uncontrollable chills,

literally a mess,

butwith

one little shot to begin with,

changed all of this, then for good measure,

 the DOC ordered a few other RX,

and by 1:30am we were heading home,

and on the way home the clouds opened up,

 we got 9/10th of rain...

so now you have

the good & bad

of it!

PS...the yard and  the produce shed looks so much nicer ....
