Bee stings

Seaweed, Rockland Breakwater, Rockland, Maine, 02 August 2014.

Seaweed.

Didn’t leave my desk until late afternoon, when I mowed the lawn and hacked down a line of tall weeds along the fringes. Hacking the weeds, I disturbed a ground bee nest and got stung a couple times—once on the first knuckle of my left hand and once up my left sleeve in the vicinity of my armpit. Stung like a motherfucker but was oddly invigorating.

I miss Beech Hill. Maybe tomorrow I’ll find a used vehicle to buy.

No photos today. Here’s one I took yesterday at the Rockland Breakwater.

Did not hike the hill today—although hundreds of other folks did (free blueberry pick day!).
