Some days, things just go right. Yesterday was one of them. As you may know, we’ve been testing a new anti-itch formula. One customer in Oklahoma has had such good results that he sent me a spectacular arrangement of iris (my favorite flower that won’t grow in Florida). Thanks Jack!!! Then another customer called and wanted to know if we sold it in gallons instead of ounces.

One more bit of good news, although it didn’t start out that way. I opened a big gate that usually stays closed and discovered the hard way that yellow jackets had built a giant nest under one of the supports. I got five or six good stings on one spot on my leg so I decided to try the new formula on myself. When I got up this morning, the stings I knew about were practically invisible and didn’t itch. That was good, but even better was discovering one more sting on my ankle that hadn’t hurt at the time, probably because it was the only sting on that part of my leg. It’s swollen and itching now, but it made it clear how good this new formula is going to be.
