The Great Outdoors

When I was little I was outside all the time. I even hid in pine trees for hide and seek knowing that I would be itching from the rash in a matter of no time. Then  at some point I stopped spending much time outside. Seemed like the minute I went outside I was itching or sneezy or a few times last summer dodging a snake...anyway, point is I didn't spend time in the yard. The outside is a blessing, and I've always enjoyed the beach and water even when I wasn't spending time in the yard, but today I was able to enjoy the blessing of the outside in our new yard and I don't have a rash or bug bites! Woo hoo!  I even planted flowers!  Pansies are my favorite and now they are around the freshly painted mailbox we freshened up today. ;) The dogs enjoyed staying out a long time too!
