Every year I try to avoid it. I usually do, but my first sunburn in ages has happened in years. And it happened in sodding Pittsburgh in spring! (this happened a few weeks ago, so it wasn’t summer yet)

I can’t be mad about it though. It was my own fault. I was outside, working my hiney off planting, digging, fertilizing, the lot, in a tank top, without proper sunblock. I had my face protected but not my shoulders. Which got the brunt of the burnt. I figured, “It’s spring, I’ll be fine.” If ever I had a ‘do’h’ moment, it was then.

But now after a few weeks, plenty of solarcaine and stocking up on sunblock, I am burn free and ready for the summer.
