Lol waited till home to scratch it. I reached down to pull one weed of the hundreds, right hand yank,, I slightly recall shoot it touched my eye. Did not even think about it. Till eye hurt turned red, one small spot,, rinsed it well all day Friday, sat morning it was BAD . Would have been a good red eye movie eye lol.

Swollen entire eye bright red. Double vision time to head for help. Urgent saw no scratch, they said go to ER if cellulitis I could lose eye. ER saw the scratches, no cellulitis whew! Vision still a bit off in rt eye but better. On antibodies now.

So from now on Sun glasses on before touching a plant. Which I usually have on.

Still working on the Main bog lifting it to a raised bog for a more dramatic falls in the back . Made some big progress with some help from my son's and a future family member moved 30,000 pounds of gravel yesterday plus some boulders. Biggest issue is the top of the bog is 8 feet above grade from the only access.

I also ordered to small a liner originally and had to seam a very wrinkled and creased liner as it was already installed. so it was only about a 1/3rd and thought it seems it was not leaking

once I started to rip it appart. It always bothered me. I did find plants that had sent roots into the lap caulk as some of those areas were pretty thick.

So I have elevated the walls to 3 feet over the mafia blocks and now I have a respectable liner and I should be able to make a more suitable waterfall in the back.

I'm always tinkering but that's the story I'm working with.
