It doesn't bother me too much but Friday I drug the hose up on the porch and washed the green dust off everything, walls and screen too. By Saturday my left eye was so red and swollen. <br /><br />I've just caught up with your posts. I love the deer picture...the two running. <br /><br />Sorry about the problems you are having with your foot and the carpel tunnel. Honestly, getting old!!
