Outside part 3
I didn’t intend for there to be a third post, but nature has intervened.
You may notice a few posts back those pictures of Ella looking out the window. We don’t have a busy street, but it can be entertaining from time to time. Today I realized the shrubbery in front of the window was getting in the way of our view, so grabbed the right tool and went out to trim it back.
I just finished trimming when I realized my arms were itching. I went inside and looked at what was going on – the inside of my arms were practically on fire! Red, swollen, itchy, blotchy – like a cross between a thousand mosquito bites and poisen ivy.
I’ve trimmed that shrub before and don’t remember having a problem.
A shower and some benedryl cream has helped put the fire out. And I have a great view out that window once again.
But man. Nature wins again.
