They’re beautiful! Sorry about the sunburnt! Hope your skin heals soon. 

Eh, it was really my own fault I was having so much fun repotting plants. I had a chance to go to Menards and buy a bag of dirt spent way too much money on pots. I think I end up spending $50 today between buying dirt and about six pots, and one tiny sad looking succulent. Amazing, I know spend that much money on just a few pots a bag of dirt and one tiny succulent and the poor little thing didn't look that great then I'll bring it back to life. But it's one of those perfect days it was nice and cool '80s, just a few clouds in the sky, the kids were feeling good and we're in a good mood. I was feeling pretty energetic this morning I was also in a pretty good mood a little down cuz I had to deal with the inheritance thing a little bit but I'm trying to maintain a happy demeanor about the whole thing and not get down even if it's going to cause some wrinkles. I managed to get a good deal on a few grocery items so I'm making a Moroccan style dinner that I've never made tonight so I'm kind of excited about that. Tonight's dinner is Moroccan meatballs and in a tomato base (apparently traditional according to Google), Moroccan couscous, with yogurt sauce, tomato cucumber feta salad, Mediterranean salad, hummus, pita's, and a couple odds and ends that were in the fridge that we're going to go bad in case they aren't eaten such as the pasta salad I made a couple days ago since I have a couple of guys over and the garbage disposals no offense to them. 

The succulents look great 

Gorgeous succulents! Sorry you got burned. Did you use any sunscreen? A big wide hat and a LIGHT weight long sleeve shirt might help. My mom has old worn out button ups for me to wear when I mow her lawn. It helps! :) 

Yes dear sorry I took a minute to respond I've been kind of overwhelmed with life lately so much going on. I used sunscreen but I've been kind of Lucky lately I guess and the way that I haven't been burned in the past with wearing spaghetti strap shirts while using my sunscreen. I usually wait till the very later part of the evening and go out and short bursts to attend to the plants. But this day was very cool and was a lovely temperature and the kids were playing and I wanted to play too. I guess I didn't notice how long I was out and I sat with my back to the Sun and it was a very nice day indeed. The problem is that all of my medicines make me very unsensitive and I'm supposed to be very careful of how long I'm out and mind my son exposure starting at 5 minute intervals starting at 5 minutes. You see where the problem starts... I just became over confidence and that was my hubris I hadn't been burned before because I had taken precautions to go out later in the evening and I had been going out in such short burst that I hadn't been burnt with my sunscreen but this time I went out much earlier in the day because it was a cooler day and stayed up much longer and because I stayed out much longer and stayed out with my full back exposed I was burnt. I will try to be more cautious in the future and wear long sleeve shirts that would probably be a good idea if I am going to go out earlier in the day. But I am quite good about my sunscreen that being said there are other measures I should be taking I am quite aware of my medications effects. Unfortunately they have cost me to become a vampire. Lol.
