A Bee in My Bonnet

It was a beautiful weekend, so I decided to put on the gardening gloves and work out in the yard.  As I was picking up a pile of debris, I was suddenly hit with a searing pain.  You guessed it--bee stings.  I had unwittingly disturbed a bee's nest in the dirt with my rake, and had a couple fly inside my glove!  Today I'm over the achy pain, but as I'm itching up a storm, I can count at least 6 different stings, all on my wrist and thumb of my left hand.  All thanks to these guys:

On a brighter note, Happy 4th of July!  Today happens to be my husband Dan's birthday.  I always say he's my Yankee Doodle Danny.
