We went for my mile plus walk this morning and then I went out into the garden to finish cleaning up the edges of the lawn, a job I started Tuesday. I knew there was a hornet's nest near the Rhodendron bush but I thought I was far enough away from it when I pulled on a binder weed trailing through the bushes. I wasn't. I was swarmed. I got out of there as fast as I could but they got me through my gloves and my long sleeve shirt. I think I was lucky to escape with only three stings.
There's another on on the index finger of my other hand. They are swelling up nicely now and as the hurting decreases the itching will start. I took a Benadryl, and am taking it easy for a while. I have a haircut appointment this afternoon.
Not everything is bad though. I thought Kamala Harris did a masterful job during Tuesday's debate. Donald Trump was his usual lying self, but since he can't handle losing, he has now convinced his supporters that the debate was "rigged". That's always his excuse. Sadly many believe him.
I made zucchini bread again yesterday. It was nice to get a crop this year, but now the vines are already shutting down. I froze both loaves, but one I cut in half to freeze and that gave me a chance to cut a thin slice to taste, Yum!
As you can see, we have a basket of tomatoes on the counter, and lots more on the vines. There will be tomatoes and cottage cheese for lunch every day now, and sliced tomatoes for dinner, with or without basil and fresh mozzarella cheese. We have lots of basil in the garden.
Yesterday I had a phone appointment with my bone doctor and we agreed to schedule knee replacement surgery in January or February. In the meantime I am trying to get my hip problems and balance improved. "Keep doing stuff." Just maybe not more yard work today. :-(
