Burnt Knees

Yesterday, I did a No-No. I mowed grass without benefit of sunscreen. I really did intend to cover myself with it. I had my long sleeved shirt, my hat, my shades, and my earplugs (the tractor is very loud.) I was distracted while searching for the sunscreen, and then I couldn't remember what it was that I was looking for before I was interrupted.

Why is it that the muscles under sunburned skin hurt? Are the muscles burnt, too? I may have to wear dresses or skirts the rest of the week. Just the thought of having jeans pressed against these knees makes them hurt. Ouch!

  4. Paula, I was on the tractor with my knees bent. I guess the part below the knees was in the shade of the burnt part. I know, it looks really odd. Actually my hands are the same color. I was wearing a long sleeved shirt, so I look like I have red gloves.
