I have been trying to be responsible this Summer and keep up with my garden as tasks arise. On Thursday I was doing my best to to be a good steward and pick beets to can. I wanted to make sure none of the precious food went to waste. And what was the reward for my efforts?
Some stupid bug came along and bit/stung me on the eye! Is this dampening my enthusiasm for further gardening? You betcha.
Ha! Mom, you look like Popeye!

The Adventures of Bitey Dog 
I am glad it didn’t sting your eyelid itself leaving you with vision in only one eye. What is it about biting insects right now?
Well, it did sting my eye lid right along my lashes. Sadly, that is my good eye. I had a heck of a time seeing for the past few days.
I agree that the biting bugs have been especially bad lately.
