Yeah - that's it. It is awful here, and an air quality alert too I understand, so yuk. I have to water later- everything green looks like it is gasping around here. It was pretty warm at the beach, but a "good" warm. You can smile through it. Here, I just mutter the "eff" word every 5 minutes.


Sidenote- anybody have a magic remedy for fire ant bites? I have 3 bites/stings, and I am about to rub the skin off my foot. I hate those things- you never know how many got you until 24 hours later, when they really start to itch!

Fire Ants are bad! GTTBD got bitten by fire ants while we were at the lake weekend before last. His ankle is still swollen and looks quite nasty.

Break a basil leaf open and rub it onto the bites. It takes away the itch. ;-)

Perfect- it needs a pinchback anyway.

Serendipity at work...hope it works. Now stay inside with the air cranked up.
I changed my tar to help cool ya'll off.

I wish I could- it's off to ballet camp, then get the dogs from the "spa". That's going to be a nice check- I loaded them up on all the extras. They should be exhausted.

Sounds like mommy will be exhausted by the end of the day. Take care in the heat.

One of the pharmacists here recommended Dermoplast the last time I got hit bad by fire ants, and it seemed to work pretty well.

Thanks! I now have a fire ant/poison ivy combo going on. Add the pygmy rattler, and I had a total nature encounter while in SoWal last weekend!
