 Things to Check Out.

 

Did ya know that an epi-pen is only to be used if one has a breathing emergency? Had the wasp sting caused me to not be able to breathe, an epi-pen would have been appropriate. However, that was not the case. The fact that my lower arm swelled up and burned-itched like crazy just made me miserable until a lidocaine patch helped out that situation. Excess adrenalin would not have been any help in that situation. Sweet Jennifer reminded me that a baking soda poultice works well on bites and stings.

 

Michelle Malay and her sister Debbie Lundsford came by today. Debbie is home schooling her grandchildren. Anyway, she seemed to be a very sweet person. She has been invited to join us here among the blog bunch. She lives in OK.

 

It has been pretty doggone hot today. And my guess is that summer really is here. All that wonderful rain has gone by the wayside, so unless the humidity starts dripping forcefully, we won’t get any more rain. Patty said she was a bit tired of the rain already. It will be time to actually do more than dust mop and vacuum now if the rain has stopped. Otherwise, the dust bunnies are simply growing out from under the furniture!

 

Michelle Malay posted a picture of a big tub of copperheads that the snake guy pulled out of a nest in her yard. Know that would convince me to wear boots outside—for SURE!

 

A picture of a windmill that a friend gave me years ago fell off the wall the other night. Pretty much startled me and Thompson! Some of the pieces of molding came off the frame. Think maybe it can be glued back onto the frame—hope, hope. Have no idea what caused it to fall. It’s not like teenagers live here any longer.

 

The news of the killings in Minnesota is just horrific. It may get to the point that no one will want to become a representative of any area when someone with a gripe can suddenly become a killer. Disagreeing with others is not a biggie, but taking that difference to the point of physical violence is NOT the way to lead to freedom. No one can be free of fear if a sense of responsibility cannot be maintained. Now, some of the law enforcement agencies are asking people to stay away from these parades and demonstrations out of an attempt to keep folks safe. How very sad.

 

Talked to cousin Eba and told her that we did not get the full drecho that was supposed to hit here while back. The weather station explained that it is like a hurricane, but not quite. We got enough rain that all the lakes are filled up, so now we are not in a drought any longer. Yay! Tonight the old woman will have to go out and water the front flower bed if flowers still matter to me. But will also have to wear something to keep the skeeters off of me. Danged, nasty little varmints!

 

Let us pray for Israel and all those folks caught between a rock and a hard place. And may God give our governments common sense.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
