Sweat .....

No other way to say it, it's just plain old sweat. It's a beautiful morning out here in the hinterlands and I've been out weeding in the garden. I noticed some poison ivy up close to the fence where the cantaloupe are growing and thought I'd better do some killing. I mixed up a couple of gallons in the sprayer and have been walking around doing some spraying and the sweat started dripping. I'm not talking a little dew on my upper lip, or a little glow on my brow, I mean running down my face, dripping on my feet, the plants,and on my glasses if I bend over, salty, drippy sweat. I always heard, growing up, that it was okay for ladies to glow a little, maybe even get to that next level, perspire, but, as the commercial says, don't ever let them see you sweat. I don't have to worry much about anybody seeing me, out here in the boonies, but dang, I hate it when the sweat drips on my glasses. It's only 75 degrees outside, with a 10-12 mph south breeze, so I didn't think when I went out about putting on a sweat band or tying a hankie around my head. I guess before I go out I'm going to have to remember to do just that or get over getting irritated when I drip on my glasses. One good thing, though... "they" say that perspiration is good for cleansing your pores and keeping your face nice and zit free... I ought to have the nicest skin in town.

Have a good one and try to stay cool...
