What...?

74°
Partly Cloudy/sprinkling at the end!

Stupid bee. We were walking by the gate into the woods and all of a sudden my ankle stings, a lot! OUCH! I looked down to see if I brushed by a thorn, but it hurt more than that, and there was no mark. I was so confused. Bewildered. I kneel down to look at my ankle and still see nothing, but it hurts where my tattoo is. I look closer.. Did a bee just sting the flower tattooed on my ankle? Did a bee REALLY just do that? Yup. What a dumb bee! So now my ankle hurts :-p I was grumpy the first half of the walk, but then the walk itself made me less grumpy. I had to make sure we didn't stop and sniff things for too long tho, as soon as I stop walking my ankle starts to sting again! We saw lots of flying things today - stupid bees, butterflies, dragonflies. It was a pretty walk. AND we made it back just as it started to sprinkle! The sprinkling water was refreshing, but I'm glad we missed the torrential downpours I'm sure are to come soon! There was thunder rumbling in the distance the whole walk, which is surprisingly soothing. Now we're sitting on the couch - Oz is napping, he ate all his breakfast like a good doggie! - and I'm sitting with a pack of ice on my ankle :-p Can you see that redness all around the flower? What an insane bee...
