I just felt like sharing that I have been a very lucky girl this month. No, I didn’t win the lottery, but I just may buy a ticket tomorrow. It just seems, I’ve been at the right places at the right time, and just missed the wrong places/events by minutes. I finally made those I’ve been meaning to calls to family and some old friends. And it was a joy. I’ve lost 8.5 pounds. I’m getting the porch that I’ve waited for, for 15 years,almost exactly as I wanted-hey, after that long phhfft not sweating it. BUT
for the 2 most lucky events, I am grateful.
I have been restoring a large flower garden. One edge borders a bank with rose bushes, shrubs,evergreens and lilies.The bank needs work too. I had planted some lavender near the edge. And was trimming a small shrub. I kept hearing something strange. But it was very noisy around my yard that day. Imagination, I thought. I thought wrong. I was scooting around to other side of a shrub,and my heart literally skipped a few beats. About 18 inches from my hand was probably the second largest hornets’ nest I’d ever seen! I could hear them quite plainly then! I watched 10/11 or so come crawling out; I’d been too terrified to move. I think I was holding my breath. I just slowly started crawling away. If I hadn’t seen them when I did, I would have plopped down practically on them to reach the far side of the bush. They no longer exist thanks to my brave husband. Did I mention ALLERGIC!?
Then today , same garden, other side. I had pulled some weeds,too hot to plant. I was just sitting on a large flat stone contemplating what to put where. I was idly pulling some small weeds and grass shoots around me.I had haphazardly stacked some field stones for later use a long while ago. .When I moved a rock to get at a spindly weed, a cloud swarmed up. Again, I’m not exaggerating, a black swirling cloud! This time my heart was racing;they were not happy! Most likely,we could have been 10 grand richer,if someone had been there! To see me flipping to my side, then crab stumble running trying to get upright had to be hilarious. This heavy, oldish woman with crickety knees doesn’t get from ground sitting to walking in a graceful manner when not panicked. I hit ‘em with a hose and ran again when they started my way. I later, pulled the truck right next to the nest and gleefully caused their demise. I decimated them! I still can’t believe that I wasn’t stung. Did I mention swell like a hippo balloon?
Now I’m worried that my glee will cause some kind of turnabout fate. My luck may have run out. Karma may get me. Oh geez , I’m already writing this narrative because it’s insomnia time again. Good night all and Good Luck to all of you!!
