Just starting to bloom around here and I expect them to really pop once this weatherfront passes.
Should be another bumper crop again this year for us. Wife will have get on this year's batch of soap for my 🦌 hunting cause we're running low 🧐

Had a dream last night that something was biting my legs. Woke up swatting and went right back to sleep. Started sweating at work and realized it wasn't a dream at all. Something bit me in 32 places from mid thigh down. Went down and grabbed a stalk of jewel weed and split it up the center. Rubbed the spots on every one of them. Only have 2 that are going to need a second coat.

BTW, this is only giving me temporary relief. First thing I've come across that jewel weed doesn't just take away completely. Not sure what got me but they turned into seeping boils and the itch is way more intense than poison ivy. The split stem gives me about 4-6 hours of relief tho👍🏾. Just hoping the skin doesn't start to die off at this point.
 
Only you could get tore up by a mystery bug while sleeping in your bed...Chiggers? Fleas? Brown Recluse or some other spider? Bed Bugs?!?!

Time to treat your sheets with Permitherin ? I await the next episode of this fine show!

You can't make this shit up. 32 of these bites but only a few of them blistered up like that one. So far...

I'm gonna be in bad sharp if it's a brown recluse. It aint fleas, chiggers or bed bugs. Much bigger reactions than I get from those. For sure like a spider sized deal going on. I was half asleep and think I killed whatever it was. But I couldn't find it when I looked for it. Whatever, damage is done.

Honeysuckle and ghetto palm hired them hit bugs...

Watch out for cellulitis bro, which would make a hell of an episode in itself!
