A little pic catch-up
I'm trying hard to slack off this weekend.
So I have been sorting through some of my pics, planning the next essay. While doing that, I found some that won't make a whole page, but (I think) are worth posting.
The weekend just before Mike and I went on our vacation, all three of us had a mini one to go visit Caro's brother and his wife. It was a good time, overall, but with only a few events that were postworthy (of interest to non-family members).
Actually, the bit where we got stopped on the highway on the south end of Hugo because they were having their county fair parade is not so much. Lamar does that too -- in fact, was probably doing it at that moment! But it was cool to get stopped right by where someone was having a yard sale, where I got a WHOLE BAG of plastic neon colored goldfish!!
Yeah, well, okay. The high dramatic point of the day came just as we were almost ready to drive off. Caro was moving something in the yard, in case of rain, and somehow bumped a board on the fence of the dog pen -- and a SWARM of wasps came boiling out!!
She was very lucky, and jumped away from their target area really fast, so she only got four grazes. They did hurt a lot, but with some Benadryl inside and out she didn't have a serious reaction. Except if you count the way she reacted by finding the wasp spray and soaking the nest down real good!
Caro's brother and his wife live up in the mountains. They have a great snug little place, with a deck full of flowers. It was raining lightly off and on while we were there, but since water that falls from the sky is sort of a rare phenomenon to us, we enjoyed that. And it made for some cool pictures!
