TODAY I DID A BOO BOO, FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS SUMMER.   I PICKED UP AN DECOMPOSING DEAD WOOD NEAR THE EDGE OF OUR LIL FOREST.   I WAS GOING TO START A CAMPFIRE, AFTER ALL IT'S LABOR DAY WEEKEND!   PICKED UP THE LOG AND IMMEDIATELY SEEN THE WASP, I DROPPED IT AND STARTED TO RUN FOR THE HOUSE.  (YOU WOULD OF NEVER GUESS I HAVE A HEEL SPUR, LOL)  ONE FLEW INTO MY SLEEVE OF MY T-SHIRT, GETTING BIT IN MY ARM PIT AND HAND, I MANAGE TO TAKE MY SHIRT OFF WHILE STILL RUNNING  WHIRLY IT AROUND MY HEAD AND SWATTING THE SWARM .  I JUMPED INTO THE HOUSE WITH THE BEE'S FOLLOWING!  MY HUSBAND WAS STARTLED AND BEWILDERED AT FIRST,  AS I CAME RUNNING THROUGH THE DOOR YELLING, SWATING AND ONLY IN MY BRA!  NOW THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 3 WEEKS, I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON...OMG (WHEN I'M GARDENING TO ALWAYS WEAR A BRA!)  I BET THE NEIGHBORS MUST THINK I AM AN EXHIBITIONIST!  LOL!   OK....REALLY BE AWARE IT'S HORNET AND WASP SEASON, BECAREFUL OUT THERE!  WHEW!
