Everyone at the farm is gone this week so I got the job of mowing the grass. Here at the farm there is
ALOT of grass. We have been having lots of
rainy days so I knew that as soon as the rain stopped I would need to mow or it will turn into a jungle. In the morning the rain had stopped and it seemed to dry up a bit so I got to it. It was overcast and the wind was blowing to I put on some grubby shorts and a jacket. It was
cold, windy and overcast and I was getting covered in grass so I wasn't too concerned with the sun. Evidently I should have been.
These are my knees and when I say they are hot I am not referring to my sexiness. You can't even imagine how hot my skin is and I took this pic this morning not last night. My forhead looks the same. It is pretty bad next to my pasty white legs. I look like a tourist who didn't know any better except I do know better. I am big on sunscreen so this caught me off guard. The first sunburn of the season always signals summer is here.

Ouch!! that indeed looks painfull. I used to love to mow just so I could get a tan. USED TO. Now I always wear pants and a long sleeve shirt. It's such a dirty job (living by a gravel road) and trimming around all the trees I always get scratched up. Thank goodness Kale is mowing most of the time now.
That looks like it is going to hurt!
I did the same thing this year...Courtney helped with field day at the school and I made her take the sunscreen with her and use it (which she did) but I worked outside with the cows all day and didn't think to put any on myself. My ears just got done peeling. One of those times...do as I say, not as I do!
Yeeeeeeow, that looks painful.
Love your toenail polish, by the way. :-)
I have 45 sunblock sitting on my counter. I best remember to use it when I go out for my first summer day. Thanks for the heads up. Hope you are in too much pain--yeesh!
Jenna gave me a tanning package for Mother's day, the perfect choice from an 18 year old :) I used it because otherwise I look this way every year. I have real fair skin and always fry with having a pool. I hurt for you :(
you poor thing! i cannot believe your poor legs, i mean I would like a tan but not by means of burning, haha although usually that is the way I come by it, oh well. hope the start of your summer is going great! :D
Oh, Kim, I'm so sorry for you! Are you able to sleep? That is quite the photo, though. Thanks for sharing. :)
