I love spring but.........

I made the mistake of walking Kaiser in the tall grass in the vacant lots and I ended up with some bug bites that are driving me crazy. It all started yesterday when I walked him at noon and there did seem to be lots of buglies flying about but it was sort of warm and windy. Thought nothing of it. Got upstairs and realized - wow! why are my legs, just above the ankle so warm and sort of stingy. Looked down and sure enough - bug bites, four good ones. They could be chigger bites or sand flea bites. All I know is they itch, they were red and they were hot. I tried alcohol, benadryl creme and even made a quick trip to the grocery store for Calamine lotion but nothing really helped. Finally, some aspirin and the passing of time have eased the itch and only one bite is still warm. I never had these kind of bites til we moved out here so I am not sure what little buglie is causing me grief but I do not like him (or her) one bit.
Now the good thing about this day is that the Yahoo group that I set up for my Seasons BOM and Snowman designs has really taken off! I am excited to do the blocks in the group format because there is interaction within the group and not just me posting a block. This is going to work really well. Thanks to all of you that said you read my blog regularly and then came along and joined the BOM group. I am having so much fun with this that it could almost make me forget those bug bites at times! LOL!
That's all for tonight! Good night, sleep tight and keep those bedbugs outa sight!
