Still here

but my run of misfortunes continues Saturday. Joe and both boys were away for the day, working. I was catching up on prepping the garden for it's big sleep. I was bent over transplanting some newly divided coneflowers when I got stung...in the posterior region! Hurt like h*ll, ran in, scraped off what was left of the stinger, cleaned the site and took an allergy pill and waited. Soon the hives started up my arms and I sat quietly and waited some more. "Sat" isn't a good description of leaning sideways on the softest chair I could find. Oh well...I survived but the site is still quite itchy.

Autumn came in hard...lots of howling winds, driving rain and yes, most of my pretty yellow leaves are now up the street against a neighbour's fence. The tree is almost bare. Sigh. Summer is gone...

You seriously should have tried the copper penny trick. It's supposed to work well.
