Bitten

Here are a few pictures from this last week.  I held off posting them for a few days, it just felt a bit braggy posting such lovely pictures of the local flowers when the rest of the country was experiencing snow storms and freezing temperatures.  Don't worry, I received my payback for the lovely weather on Friday when I was bitten by some angry fire ants, who's hill I unknowingly disturbed.  The swelling in my hands and toes has started to ease.  Amazing how something smaller than a grain of rice can inflict such pain.  Good news, the yard work is done so I'm back in bead mode.  Some new beads will be on Etsy tomorrow.  Enjoy!
